Thanks Paul;
I tried all that you suggested with no luck except for trying to pull the pin out. I'm assuming it's hardened, but am kind of leery about buggering it up by grabbing onto it with pliers.
I dropped it off at the local gun store yesterday for their gunsmith to take a look at. If I can separate the two halves, I'm gonna send it to Ilion, NY for a quote on refurbishment. Since I'm not a collector or hunter, I thought I'd give it to my 2 identical twin grandsons. Kinda fitting... 2nd iteration of grandfather to grandson.
