Just got a Safari Express rear sight. Noted that the 6-48 mounting screw is held under the dovetaill sight blade assembly. Here’s the sight for reference:

Seems the dovetail needs to be drifted out to get to the mounting screw in the dovetail. Before I start using a punch to drift it out I’d like to know a couple of things:

1) is the sight held in place just by the friction fit and will drift out from left to right?
2) is the threaded piece that the front sight adjustment screw fits into a separate removable wedge adjustment part? Does it need to be removed before drifting the dovetail blade component out?

Thanks in advance for any help.
