THE MOST God awful sight removal.

Time to soak it in hydrochloric acid. Won't touch stainless or steel but will eat through aluminum fast. Not sure about any coatings the slide might have. I believe it will strip any nitriding or blueing through.

I have a mill.
I am not that far from you.

I took the top of the sight off of my Tac Ultra by removing the roll pin and the elevator screw and there are 2 setscrews in the dovetail that keep the dovetail from moving in the slide.

Randal I contemplated driving out But somone is borrowing my car this week druing my available hours. I walked over to UPS and sent it off to get cut. For the purposed of this thread what do you think was used to install this sight?

At this point Im thinking they heated the an undersized slide dovetail, froze the sight and installed with a hydraulic press but not before applying whatever bonding agent Accuracy International used for the action to chassis bond on the old AW rifles. :ROFLMAO:

Sending you a PM for something else.

yes I did the same thing. The entire sight sheard off except the dove tail portion and a small section with two circle dimples at the rear just behind the dovetail. When I couldnt get that very thing section to lift I knew they used something I was no match for. Not even a mm of movement. I still can't believe it.

Sight base is obviously cast or MIM.
