10/22 front sight removal

[PhL0aTeR]

Take it to a smith and have it removed for like $15?

not sure he can even turn on his power tools for that price... im not talking about just removing the sight from the dovetail, im talking about removing the mount that the sight sets in so the barrel is smooth.... looks like its part of the barrel though.
buying a new barrel might be the way to go.... looks like i can get a threaded barrel for around $150

Oh, then I suggest what Jim said. Thread it and put on a thread protector.

Sounds like a good time to upgrade the barrel to me!

Punch and hammer from left to right. Easy enough takes five minutes. Have removed many of them.

Then if you dont want to put it back on, grind down the dovetail.

i can get it threaded for less money up this a ways. depending on their work load.

If the barrel is good, just get it threaded. I have several threaded standard ones and one of the .920 heavy barrels. they all shoot nice

awesome responses! i ended up punching it out and spreading a metal dowel enough to fit over it in such a way that the dovetail doesnt catch on crap in my truck.

took it out along with a few other items and had so much fun sighting in the scope and putting holes in spent shotgun shells... i dont think ill be buying a barrel anytime soon, works fine as is..... if i ever have some money to waste ill go with my first plan of dumping a bunch of volquartsen parts in it...
