Should be 3 pins total holding the barrel on, along with the tang screw and the 2 nose piece screws. Just use a little punch and once they are almost out, pull them with either your fingers or plyers.
As for your trigger falling to safety notch, you'll need to adjust your triggers and get them tuned properly. If the triggers are set to light, the slightest pressure will send it to the half cock.
