Rock Island puts a good amount of red loc-tight under all of their sights so use a heat gun on the sight be forehand.
And do not be afraid of beating the heck out of it to get it off. If the hammer you are use does not work at first, find a bigger hammer. No joke intended here.

I used a nylon punch
(you can buy them at Brownell's ) I think there's an e-bay vendor that sells them too. They're not expensive (5-6 bucks for three) and they'll take a surprising amount of pounding hammer from left to right. as Mike said, don't be afraid to whack it you'll have to file the new sight base too. Standard GI cut (.330 x 65) is the closet fit you'll find. The dovetail cuts on the two I did, one was .308 the other was .312 the front sight is narrow tenon and that was pretty cut and dried . It fit perfect . I guess you must of seen my MacGyiver'd staking tool. You can make a staking tool out of an old mill file too One of the members on another board showed his. ..L.T.A.
