Inside the lock with core removed:
The core:
The little pin is spring loaded, when you push it in, the core should pull out. (Of course, you need it unlocked to access the pin)

After seeing this thread I went to pick my American 200... I got the same insane false set. Maybe this is normal for this type of core?

even though the depths on 4 & 5 were higher than my initial key that I pictured! Thought I was on my
way to an opening but instead... it STAYED in this false set as I VERY SLOWLY brought these two bittings
down.... all the way to their maximum depth lol. So no opening, but this just screams false set to me.
