Hey guys, I just got an A2 front sight from True Shot. How the hell do I remove the post on the stock sight so I can transfer it to the new one? I've pushed this pin and and have been able to turn the post several rotations but it isn't coming out. Any help or a link to another thread would be greatly appreciate. I searched but didn't find anything helpful.

I am guessing that you have not turned it far enough.
I was thinking that too so I turned it a couple more times, now it won't move any more. I think I actually lowered it though and now need to go the other way lol. I'll let you know soon, my fingers are getting sore I don't have the right tools.

To remove it, you turn to the left. And yes, a front sight tool makes adjusting it so much easier.

Any shop that handles ARs will have it, as well as just about every mail order jobber. About $5.

All you have to do is go to the mail order sites and put "front site tool" in the search box. It's not hard.

Thanks Majorik. I'm still a noob and I figured there are several types and I'd hate to order the wrong one.

anyone with an AR rifle should have one of those tools anyway, IMO. Worth the $5 investment.
