[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 3067302, member: 6777"] From your question your talking standard GI front sight as opposed to a drive in dovetail? For a GI sight post you will have to do some filing of the sight leg to get it to fit in the hole. sometimes you get lucky and can shear/stake it in one whack . Make sure you put this in a vise. The sight needs to be unmovable when you whack it. The bottom of slide against one jaw and front sight against the other jaw. [U]Personally I'd take it to someone and have them mill a dovetail for a sight like the Tactical model has.[/U] I really hated GI style front sights, As I would break off the leg about half the time why trying to stake it or it would fly off after a few rounds.
