So i have created two issues for my self today. The first issue has to do with my Buffer/Action Spring assembly.

I pushed on the buffer retaining pin so that i could remove the Buffer Spring and Buffer from the receiver extension. But after pressing on the Retaining pin, and while attempting to pull the assembly out, it ended up getting stuck in a small hole on the buffer.

The buffer is a rifle length version. The rifle being a Colt 6601C w/ standard A2 butt stock, 20" SS Heavy Barrel. The buffer is the version that Colt stopped using in the late 90's. It is black in color and made from plastic, with some sort of metal weights.

The hole which is now occupied by buffer retaining pin, is about an inch away from the end of the buffer. I need to some how depress the buffer retaining pin so that i can push the buffer back in or pull it out.

Its stuck really bad and i just cannot get it free. if i could only wedge a small tool in there so that i could press it down and free the buffer.

if anyone can help me, id greatly appreciate it.
