I am trying to replace the firing pin on my rem 700. I have a tool to compress the spring and have it down to ehre i can drift out the pin, but the pin will not budge. I cannot get it move at all. i just recently had this rifle rebarrelled and built it into a precision rifle. The action is probably around 25 years old and there is some vibration when the firing pin drops, which I beleive is why I can't get better than about .4 MOA.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
