hate to ask a stupid question-but here i go...if a gas block(on a noveske 18" barrrel) is 'pinned',does that mean it cant come off?or can the pin be tapped out?

It can be tapped out.

I wanted to piggy back on this dumb question with one of my own....... I have built several AR large and small frame but never with a Noveske pinned gas block. Looking at this barrel below, can someone explain this process of installing this to me. Am I just driving out gas block pins, installing barrel as normal, then putting tube on gas black and pinning back once installed? Thank for help guys.

This is my chosen barrel Noveske Recon Match Barrel AR-15 5.56x45mm NATO Medium Contour 1 7

Yep, that will work.
