| I bought a Stag 2H and want to put on a Yankee Hill clamp-on sight block with fold down site. How in the heck do I remove the old front site housing off the barrel. I bought a video on buiding a AR-15. It shows knocking out the pins to remove the front site housing to take it off. Well, I don't see any pins to knock out using a punch. Is it even possible to remove the old site? Thanks for any help. First AR for me |
Knocking the pins out can usually be done if you 1.) knock them out from the correct side (left for most factory installations - they are normally tapered), 2.) arrange to do your pounding so that you get a good coupling with the pins (a punch with a concave end, a Brownells FSB block (below) and a concrete floor will help) and 3.) use a penetrating oil such as Kroil or PB Blaster.
