Don't drink and gunsmith......

Someone with a steady hand and a carbide burr could get it out. Grind away just enough to relax the pin.

That could work; I don't have one. I did think about drilling it with a small bit...don't want to screw it up though.

I don't understand the angst. Doesn't everyone get drunk as sh*t before attempting precision work? Where is the challenge if you don't?

Build a jig to keep you from moving outside the pin area.

Ah you beat me to it. I have this old Mosin 91\30 in the closet that would probably still be 9 feet long if it weren't for Icehouse tallboys. By the way those Russians used some really damn hard steel for those barrels. I broke my pipe cutter and one hacksaw blade and a pretty good buzz killing sweat cutting that barrel.
