I want to replace the factory forend with a Keymod forend.

I'll need to remove the front sight.  My concern is how to remove the pin.

Does it come out left to right, right to left or doesn't it matter

Appreciate any knowledgeable assistance

Should be a tapered pin, so left to right.

This is the cheaper, easier and stronger option.

There's nothing hard about removing the taper pins of you have a set of solid punches. I take a punch a few sizes bigger to get the pin even with the edge of the hole and then finish driving it out with the appropriate size. Forgive me for the size of the punch is escaping me at the moment.

OR...

You can cut it down with a side grinder and be done with it.

This. A cut down sight is the best gas block you can have.
