NCShooter Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 What type of tool do you use to remove the screw from the front sight, I have bent just about every screwdirver I have, and a couple that i made. I have soaked it in breakfree for two weeks and still have no luck. All of my impact heads are very big, and I have had no luck finding anything small. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerfive Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I think that the sights are "located" with the screw then soldered in place. Some solder may have wicked into the threads of the screw or just into the hole with the end of the screw. At any rate I might suggest that you heat the sight up until you see the solder start to weep out from under the sight, while keeping the sight hot try turning out the screw.
