Have a nice Model 59 that needs thorough cleaning. How do you remove the lollypop windage adjustable rear sight assembly to clean the ejector plunger channel?

I believe that you raise the tang so that it clears the frame and then rotate counterclockwise then off it comes.

Thanks, Growr. So it's all one piece; it kinda looked to me like it might be 2 separate pieces. How and what tool do you use to get underneath the tang to lift it? Seems to be pretty stout metal.
Will let you know how I do with it...very carefully.

Use a small punch, insert it in the small depression in front of the sight tang and lift the tang just enough to clear the top of the slide (some tangs are hard and can break off if lifted to high) turn the tang to the right 90' with the muzzel faceing away from you, carfully lift the sight up, the ejector depressor and spring are underneath the sight base don't loose them.

Thanks Paulj, I'm going to follow your instructions right now. Let you know.

Thanks, guys. It worked great. Sure needed cleaning:
