misc 0 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 How are the pins that hold the front sight assembly removed safely? Secondly, I just received a front sight assembly from Ruseller for my Saiga 308 but the pinhole alignment is off so can the new front sight assembly be put on using a different procedure? misc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtoddellis 2 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 The pins on my 7.62x39 were very easy to remove. I just used a punch and drove them out. It took very little effort. What kind of front sight did you get? Is it the one with the flash hider mad on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What kind of front sight did you get? Is it the one with the flash hider mad on it? It's the one piece front assembly with flash hider. The only one that has been shown in 308 rifle pics. A problem I've come across is that the pin holes on the original assembly are wider than on the assembly I received. Is there a different way to put the new assembly on? Any ideas?
