Front sight post stuck
This is a Krinkov, the vertical front sight post is stuck, the windage dowel moves & is ok.
I have broke 2 front sight adjustment tools, tried needle nose vise grips. Also have tried using a tool steel rod with a slit in it, also applied heat. Still stuck!
The post is not bottomed out on the windage dowel.
Notice the rectangler hole, it is not spring loaded like the ar-15.
I can stick a safety pin through the rectangler hole & go to the windage dowel. The sight post appears to be hollow in its bottom center portion, because I can move & see the safety pin all round the bottom of the sight post .
Please look @ linked picture

My question is how can I get the front sight blade out or get it to move up & down. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks Walte
