See if you can get a paper clip or something smaller then the bullet tip to push the pin down before trying to turn the sight. It should turn unless someone put loc-tite or something on it.

Is this a new upper?
If not, maybe someone threaded the front sight hole all the way through and put a hex screw in from the bottom to keep the front sight from wiggling. Competition shooters and others with too much time on their hands sometimes do this. |

I bought the upper used, but it was unfired. I am able to push the pin down all the way. The post will not move at all.

you just need a front sight tool, those new front sights are very "thread tight".....

My postban Bushy was the same way when I got it, but after a few hundred rounds it moves easily now using a bullet tip.
