Glad to oblige but can we have a bit of your sunshine. Feels colder than 0 degrees.

G.Day Each,
Well you wont beleive it but the Mount came off with no trouble after i had explained to a mate of mine the problem i was having.
I approched my mate who has had a number of years  (as I have) with firearms,with the view to look at the problem from a different angle.
And of course he found the problem straight away.
I felt so small that a simple piece of engineering security had been missed,i must be getting old.
The security pins were not a tight push fit as first thought but were threaded.
What i thought was only a small hole in the end was in fact a small Allen Key Slot.
So the job was done and every thing reassembled and tested.
