I was trying to replace my rear buckhorn sight with a flattop sight. I removed the old sight and noticed that the rear sight didn't fit into the dovetail slot.
So I sanded it, like many people recommend. And it started to go in, so I figure'd I'd punch it in from there. That was a horrible idea, as you can guess.
The rear sight is completely stuck. My attempts to punch it back out have only scraped and smushed the sight further. At this point I don't care if the sight is ruined, I just need to get it off the gun without scraping the rifle any more than I already have.
Has anyone dealt with this? I just feel awful, like how the hell did I get it so stuck...
