Hello all.
I recently purchased a new S&W M&P 15 and I figured it would be a good idea to clean it prior to firing it for the first time. When I attempted to try and remove the take out pins I could not do so by hand as they were extremely tight. Should I fire a few hundred rounds through it first to try and break it in or rather try and use a punch with a light hammer to remove it? Any help is greatly appreciated!
