removing sight?

manchie390
how do you remove a front sight from a ruger SB? how much heat do you need & is it silver sodered on & can a person do this himself with the right equipment? i'm pretty good at things like this but i've never tryed to do exactly this. thanks

    these are silver soldered on, takes a dull red heat to remove. this will ruin blueing and leave scale in the bore if not protected.

    why would you want to?

    I'D SUGGEST USEING A DIFFERENT FRON SIGHT RAMP (WILLIAMS SHORTY?), DRILL AND TAP AND SOFT SOLDER THE RAMP ON THEN YOU CAN TRY DIFFERENT FRONT SIGHT BLADES.
