Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Mossburg 340kc .22 cal. bolt action rifle

Hello folks, my rifle was knocked over by my clumsiness and the top of the front sight broke off. I have ordered a new front sight and need to know which way to remove the front sight.
Holding the rifle as you would to shoot it:
So to remove left to right or right to left?

Thank you for your time, I am not a gunsmith just clumsy.

Off to the right, on to the left..


that is, if my feeble memory has it correctly..


(forgot you were 'holding it as you're shooting it')

OK, thanks Redneck for your help. I did not want to mess it up more than I have already.

Off from the left , on from the right !
