Rear Sight Removal

#1

Post by Bigfoot »

I bought a red dot to put on my Steyr M9, but I cannot get the rear sight out with the nylon punches. That thing is in there TIGHT!!!

Anyone try the rear sight removal tools from Amazon on a stubborn rear sight?

Thanks for the offer, but I'm way out in the west valley near Luke. Which one do you have and maybe I just buy my own?
