My first scale de-pin
This is my first attempt to de-pin some bone scales
Using my finger to guide the file
nearly through to the washer, you can just see the ring
setting the gap in the vise
old sock lol (clean tho)
getting it centred
bit of wd40 as I am not re-using the scales
punching the pin

Congratulations on a successful mission.
Its always less stressful when you dont want the scales. Hang onto them though, you might want them someday.

Well done!
+ 1 on keeping the scales, I never throw away anything that might come in handy one day.
A little tips when unpinning this way to help save the scales is to put a piece of electrical tape over the pin and scales, that way the tape will protect the scales when filing.Havachat45 and donalexander like this.
