I have an old 22 revolver from Germany. It has a aluminum frame. There is some slight play in the barrel. Im thinking push the pin out. Degrease and use red loc-tite. Good idea or not?

I would measure it up and see how much room your working with. A good epoxy might be a better choice as it will fill the openings and make a 100% surface bond
There is a product called Fluid Weld that is used in cast iron cylinder head repairs, it will literally electro chemically bond dissimilar metals, it is BADDDDDD to the bone! I have used it putting threaded steel bearing retainers into aluminum hubs and I had to destroy the finished piece to get it out. Might be worth thinking about for your project..

I repaired a RG .22 revolver with JB weld.
The barrel was real wobbly.
I shot the revolver for 10 more years after the repair.
Cheap gun.
Cheap Repair.
Mines not to bad yet. I'll go with the JB. Going to snow more this week. It will be my snow project.

Bend the pin and put it back in ! should clear up the problem!

High strength Loctite would be better than JB weld. I use loctite to hold barrel liners in and it has worked great for over 20 years.
Degrease and use red loc-tite. Its what Ruger uses to keep the 44 Redhawk barrels from coming loose.
The Ithaca slug guns barrel used it also. To remove , heat to 500 degrees.
