  1. RANGE REPORT...

     

    I took it to a local range and figured I'd attempt to shoot low-brass-bulk from Wally World. I wouldn't cycle for several mags with me changing adjusting the screw inward after each 2-3 shots. EVENTUALLY I got it to cycle. However, the adjustment screw is screwed in almost 1/4"! Is that normal? I have a 3-hole gun. Should I add a fourth or just enlarge my existing three? Thanks again.

     

    Sellier & Belliot 00 Buck worked very good. The recoil sure ain't what I've seen online... Any suggestions on that too?

     

    Have you made any attempt to enlarging your three ports yet or are they still the stock size from the factory? I'm still on my stock three ports and did not know the inside screw could go in that much (my last attempted tune was a month ago)! Would you mind posting a close-up pic?

  2. i tried out the propane blow torch, heating it 3 times, first time at around 15 seconds, second time around 20, and last time at round 35 seconds, but the rear sight still didn't budge. I'll try the metal cylinder right now. If that doesn't work, I'm taking a trip to get me a hacksaw.

     

    ...Do yourself a favor and post some pics before you take a hacksaw to your gun. Plenty of people on here who can tell you exactly how to get your rear sights off.

     

    Why are you removing them anyway? Installing new sights? Or a Titan rail perhaps?

     

    The hacksaw was 20 times easier and only took a couple few minutes total. Correct, I threw on a Chaos rail with Troy HK style battlesights. Looks like I can still reuse the rear sight with a little JB Weld.

  4. Well I'm glad to see a new member using the search function effectively, even if it is reviving a 4 year old thread.

     

    Dres, I recommend you try the hammer and punch method first. That's how I got mine out, and it is still in tact enough that I think I could reinstall it.

     

    I found this thread through Google search, and I've been searching for about a week now. I'm not going at it with a hacksaw or a dremel (saving the sight in case I need to sell or re-use it for another project), and I've tried the punch and hammer many times. Would you mind telling me which punch size and hammer type you used? (as well as how long it took you to remove it and which exact spot you placed the punch onto?) I have a local shop that will do the conversion for me, but I find it more enjoyable to learn.
