Or maybe the better question is: WHY?
I have a new BDL 700 in the shop whose owner claimed had a loose screw in the front sight. Upon tightening it, the screw broke, then he brings it to me to get the broken screw out.
Well, now the bad screw is removed, the rear hole is cleaned up with a 6-48 plug tap, now its time to knock the post out of the ramp...WRONG.
I didn't beat on the damned thing, but it appears they are silver soldering the sight post on top of the ramp. Which bean counter decided this was a good idea?
How am I supposed to get the post and ramp separated without ruining the blue job? Tempted to just put an old Rem 700 sight on it and be done.
Thoughts? Ideas?
