HI,
well how do you remove front sight on saiga win 308(izmash ak 47).
its only two pins, but boy it seems lots of people bash,cut off theirs
the two pins are stamped in at the factory and before i try to get them out
has anyone any advice.
the front sight fits over the end of the barrel and is held in place by two pins above the barrel.
i need to get it off to fit a sound moderator for one range i use.
also is there a replacement one that fits onto the barrel as well, so i can fire with the sound moderator on.

Hoping someone can help.
cheers chris in rainy windy england
