![]() I use a #2 taper pin (or soft 3/16" stick welding rod, cut off about 2 inches stick in in a drill press or lathe and spin it - using a file I make slightly tapered on the rod.) Then with the sight back in place I drive the pin in hard from the left side. The old pin will be messed up so have to get a new one. After you get it off put it back on the same way. If you attempt to drive it off you will spring it and it will not fit back right. Twist and pull on the barrel and work the sigh off. If you can't see the head of the pin take some fine sand paper and scrub a little.Īfter you get the pin out put a pad around the sight and clamp it in a good vise. You have to hit the pin hard for it to move. (or approx.) placed behind the pin and take a flat punch and drive from right to left. Place the left side of the sight on a steel surface with a 1/4" dia. Look just above the top of the barrel on the sight and you will see a faint circle(s), that/those are the pin(s). Front sights on Japanese rifles are held in place with a tapered pin(s). ![]()
