SO I bought a used C39 Century AK a few months back. Seemed pretty clean for a used gun. Fired well for the rounds I put through it at the range to test it. (About 2 magazines worth) I had oiled and wiped down the rails and cleaned barrel before testing it. I went to take it apart for a cleaning and noticed firing pin occasionally sticks. Nothing bad, a slight shake or tap and it falls back, but I figured maybe some residue was in the channel I planned to dissasemble to clean it. It is my first AK so I looked up a video. So first pin to remove should free the firing pin. Great. Per Video just need to push it with a punch. Won't budge. I set it up and hit with a hammer still won't budge. I don't have a punch the exact same size and it bends slightly. I try another and it snaps after I try hitting it.front stays flat, buut shaft of punch bends and snaps off after a solid hit. I tried soaking bolt in Kroil overnight, still no budge. I'm guessing previous owner may have jammed it in there, but who knows. My next thought is to try to find an AK cleaning kit with the hopes I can get it free with right size punch, but man that seems stuck. Any other Ideas, before I buy the kit? After the Kroil it sticks less but still occasionally doesn't fall free. I doubt it would go FA on me, but I'd prefer to not find out.

. I had money, it burned a hole in my pocket... Regretful decision. but the gun works and functions, I may sell it, but don't want to sink money into it. and century isn't like Ruger or S&W where they will simply replace something like that. They count the warranty from when something is created, not bought, and it is even over a year since when last guy bought it.
