Hello - I just picked up a new Ruger 10/22 and am having a heck of a time changing out the stock irons to Tech sights. The damn front sights will not budge no matter the size of punch or hammer. Google-fu revealed a common theme of 10/22 front sight removal hell.

Can someone please recommend a good gunsmith or decent place to have this completed? I hoping it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, but if that’s what it takes to keep me from wrecking the barrel…

Thanks everyone,

Bill

When you tried to drift out the sight. Did you put the barrel in a vise or did you just have it laying on a table ?

Ended up bringing it to a good guy to remove, mount, and bore sighted. He even said it was one stubborn removal.
