I use a little muscle and the AK butt stock tool. You assemble it like this.
Make sure you pull back AND up on the rear sight as the leaf spring is fully compressed. If you put the tool in at an angle, it will help push the sight out. If you don't have that tool or you just can't get it........use a hammer and a screwdriver. Put the rifle between your legs (unloaded of course...double check) for stability. |

Buy the Campy tool. It's sold by several companies:

All I used was a hammer with the rear sight folded up and it popped right out. Of course its a WASR so I've read they come out easier than most.

A simple screwdriver is all I used to replace the stock sight with a Mojo sight.

Simple method. Just raise the rear sight blade, use you drill press and a small drill bit that is inserted in the chuck up side down. Pust down on spring leaf and pull rear sight off. Done.

Piece of wood is probably the cheapest, easiest, and least destructive device to use.

But the other tools and methods will work as well. I have a good friend who removes them by hand. He tried to show me but I just couldn't do it. He can pop one off no matter how tight just using his hand. He's a big farm boy though. |
