No, it didn't come from the UK. My Dad picked it up at a gun show in North Florida eight or nine years ago.

The fit of the peg / pin is too tight to just push out. I may be able to tap on it with a punch.

FWIW, I use the skinny end of a chopstick as an awl/punch and a rubber or (better yet) a wooden mallet to tap it out.

Thanks for the tip laEspadaAncha. I will eat at Pei Wei tonight (that is not an commercial endorsement David) and grab some extra chopsticks.

Well it is Dana, but as long as you don't provide a link you're OK...

Ok, I used the skinny end of a chopstick and a rubber mallet, but I can only move the pin a little less than half way. Any suggestions.

Sure - punch it out the rest of the way.

These mekugi are made to be slightly tapered, so if it's come out halfway, removal shouldn't be an issue... If it's stuck, then maybe you're trying to force it out from the wrong side?

I just needed to use a little more persuasion.
