Can an industrial drill press deliver enough force to push a

Get a man to do it.

>>33651902
Soak it in oil. Then try again. Did you mount it in a vise? Use a long tapered punch.

>>33651902
Just buy a sight pusher...

>>33651915
It's steel on steel, not plastic on aluminum like glawks.

>>33651919
Already done and yes.

>>33651920
Too expensive.

You are now aware most sights are dovetailed in one direction.


Hit it from the other side little man

>>33651902

>Stick slide in freezer
>Metal contracts and sight falls out

You're overthinking this

>>33651937
You're supposed to be able to move them left and right to fix the POI anyway, how would that work if they can only move one way?

>>33651949
>freezer
Isn't that broscience?

>>33651956

I've never tried it myself but on a forum I frequent someone put it to the test and apparently had satisfactory results with it.

>>33651956
Because >>33651937 is only applicable to some guns

Lube it up. Should be easy.

>>33651967
I already soaked it in wd40, been trying for several days now. I'll just take it to a gunsmith.

>>33651956
Two metals and two different thicknesses will contract at different rates. Put it in the freezer for a half hour.

>>33651986
Both the slide and the sight are steel. Freezing them won't do anything.

>>33651999
He just explained it. Or you can hit it with a few sprays from keyboard cleaner compressed air bottle.

>>33651999

???

Steel isn't immune to the forces of nature. It contracts, bends and warps just like any other metal when exposed to heat and cold.

>>33651902
You can't even take out a rear sight ?
Are you retarded ?

>>33651902
If it's that fucking stuck, you need a sight pusher. You can make one if you have taps and a drill press.

Otherwise, have fun fucking your shit up because there is no substitute for having the right tools.

>>33652026
Sight pushers don't have more strength than a large hammer and an appropriate punch though. It's literally just a screw. If hammering doesn't work, neither will the sight pusher.

>>33652073
Yes, it will work.

I've run into the exact same scenario more than once. You can apply pressure to the pusher using a wrench / socket wrench for leverage.

Again, if you don't want to fuck your shit up, get the right tools. A decent sight pusher is not expensive. I found mine for $20 on craigslist.

>>33652073
Or he can shoot it off with a .22lr or 9mm.

>>33652090
If this works, I'm gonna get paperwork to build a CZ-25 and list my reasoning as "Pneumatic impact hammer.".

>>33651902
Be sure to post an "after" picture, so we can see how bad you fucked your gun up.

>>33651949
Metal contracts and somehow that creates space? You heat it up ya duffis

>>33652130
The sight would contract faster, letting it slip out

>>33651902
Flandre did a video on it

>I already soaked it in wd40

Your sight isn't wet. Try a penetrating oil like kroil.

>>33652130

The smaller piece of metal (sight) contracts faster then the slide so it has space to fall free. Heating it up would have the obverse effect and make the sight fit tighter since it would heat up faster.

>>33652136
difference in temp needs to be quite high to loosen enough. dove tail width x difference in temperature x 0.0000043 (constant)

A 50 degree difference on a 0.200" dovetail will not even give you a ten thou 0.0001" change

>>33652152
Thanks, now I have Cancer.

>>33651999
What? How do you think railroads get broken rail all the time? Shit pulls apart when it's cold.

Pay a competent gunsmith, noob.

>>33651956
>how would that work if they can only move one way?
They can't only move one way, but they can only be taken out one way.

Jesus, you are dumb.

>>33652073
>If hammering doesn't work, neither will the sight pusher.
This is so untrue. I bet you're one of those retards marring knuckles and tie rods trying to separate ball joints with a hammer like a neanderthal.

>>33652073
Universal sight pushers are $40 on Amazon you cheap fuck. They are a good insurance policy if you don't want to risk fucking up an expensive sight or worse, your actually slide, by smashing shit ith a hammer. Remember, it will be cheaper in the long run than taking your guns to the shop every time they need new sights.

I get what you are saying, but I don't think that will work on shit this small.

OP get a fucking sight pusher and a bench vise and quit being a pussy. Men made it, a man can change it.

>>33652073
Guess how I know you are a retard?

>>33652611
I don't know... You guys met on the shortbus maybe?

>>33652608
An 80 degree change in temperature can open up a quarter mile piece of steel like 9.5 inches. All you need is a little bit to help slide a sight out of its dovetail.

>>33651902
Get a roll of duct tape. Lay it on its side on a desk. Put slide on it. Now take a punch and hammer. Worked on my high power.

>>33651949
>>Stick slide in freezer>Metal contracts and sight falls outYou're overthinking this


This

Same with fucked up bedded guns stick them in a meat locker.

I do this on socket bayos with the ring seized on with rest after soaking in oil.

Freezers work.

>>33652073
What is a inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder giving a huge mechanical advantage and applying a constant force as opposed to imparting a large force over a small amount of time that might not move it? In other words, that "literal" screw probably has a better chance.

>>33651902
put it in the freezer for a few hours and try again

or like some other anon mentioned turn a can of air duster upside down and spray the cold shit on the rear sight a few times to cool it down

metal contracts when cold, use it to your advantage

The first time they're often stuck in place. Just spray some WD40 in the cracks and wait a few hours to a day.

There's a tool called a sight pusher. Maryland Gunworks makes the best ones for the value. The cheap ones on ebay could easily mar your gun without even getting the sight out.

>>33652073
>Sight pushers don't have more strength than a large hammer and an appropriate punch though. It's literally just a screw. If hammering doesn't work, neither will the sight pusher.
This is incorrect. You're a lot weaker than you think you are and your gun's slide probably isn't secured very well in your vise.

Its relevant.

Are you going to hook up the OP with a sight pusher for cheap?

He works there, I've visited the shop a few times. Very clean place.

>>33652161
Anon, it's clear that OP was just doing that to make sure that there was no moisture between the sight and the frame that could have caused rust and made it harder to remove.

>>33651902

Jesus fucking christ /k/ is full of retards

Get a fucking sight tool or take it to a gunsmith you mouthbreathing hick trash

sight pushers defintely help. but be warned I knicked the slide on my 1911 using a universal one.
