rear sight removal
« on: January 27, 2009, 12:43:25 PM »
I want to remove the rear sight on my handi rifle and install a peep sight.  How do you remove the rear sight?  Do you have to punch out the small "roll pin" that holds the sight on to get to a screw underneath?

Thanks,

Matt

That's how the old style proprietary sight is removed.
