Trying to take my 10/22 down to clean it.  The two smaller pins that retain the trigger pack to the receiver are stuck.  I tried pushing them with a punch.  Then I tried hitting the punch with a mallet.  I'm reluctant to hit it very hard as I don't want to mess up the scope I literally just got sighted in.  Any advise how to remove these pins without damaging the rifle?

Nevermind.  I just hit it with my purse a little harder and they broke free.

Many times those pins fall out when you turn the barreled action sideways. Odd that yours were so snug.

I  just picked up a receiver that had some paint(?) in the pin holes....rolled up some 1000 grit wet/dry paper and did a little sanding. Was able to push them in by hand, and they don't fall out when turning the receiver sideways.

Next time make sure to check that the hammer is cocked back
If the hammer is forward then the pressure of the hammer spring can cause the pins to bind.
