So I'm trying to get my SKS rear sight off and it's driving me nuts. Standard screwdriver tricks don't work. Is there another way?
Theres a wee-little pin in it that you need to punch out first
Get a bigger hammer.
Use the punch that's in the cleaning kit you aids nigger

I thought that was just the little pin/lip/whatever it rides in the "track" with.

On ak's...........
>>31713848
The pin holds everything in, punch it out.
It runs thru the part that runs in the track.

Try spraying that hole with break free over night then try a steel pin punch with a mallet. Start with a large pin punch to get it free and then a small one to push it out...

Ah. So pic related's pins aren't what I'm futilely tapping at? And which direction does it tap out?
>>31713919
I see, I'm just going by what Google searches tell me.

F-fug.
>>31714071
there's a hole in those pins that has ANOTHER pin in it. smack that bitch out then pop it out like a ak.
it goes both ways.

Much appreciated. What a goofy system.

>>31714444
wut the fug?
All i did was push it down with a punch, and pull it out to the rear with some pliers...
>>31714444
Nice quads
>>31714444
It kept those pesky Russian peasants from loosing the rear sight

OH.. your SKS is different than mine >>31714486.. what build is it?
>>31714486
The pin was added during the Russian referb process
>>31714531
Interesting, now that I know I can spread this knowledge as well to all who need it.
>>31713681
That's weird. It's the same colour as the sight ladder, and it rotates when you flip the ladder up. If I didn't know better now, I'd think it was one piece.
>>31715253
Pic related, mine. Looks different-I guess mine lacks the pin? But it does have the refurb stamps.
>>31714166
>there is a pin inside a pin
that just sounds like some sort of russian doll situation
