Ruger MK III LCI
Having trouble removing the pin that holds the LCI from a Ruger MK III.
Tried a strong magnet but that did not pull the pin. Any suggestions?

I Super Glue a tooth pick to it...works every time. Clean all the oil off
from the pin, then apply a very small drop of glue to the tip of the tooth pick and hold it to the pin until it sets, then pull the pin right out.

I'll give it a try.
If NG, I go to the Dremmel.

The super glue trick works just be sure you don't use too much or you will glue the pin in. I won't say how I know this (LOL). Have you tried moving the LCCI bar a tad while tapping? Sometimes some dirt or machining bits create a bind.

Just curious. Is this a steel grip frame Ruger Mark III, or is it the Ruger Mark III 22/45 variant? Normally, the steel grip frame versions give up the LCI pin quite easily. It's usually the "LITE" version of the 22/45 where trouble is encountered with removing the LCI pin.
