Vertigofirearms Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 being ill equipped, i need a wrench to remove the front sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman1975 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) If I remember correctly it is a 5.5mm wrench......I think I got mine at sears for a few bucks. Also you may want to order a spare lock nut to put back on......removing it kind of messes up the little nylon lock ring. You should be able to get one from brownells http://www.amazon.com/Amico-Silver-Double-Open-ended-Wrench/dp/B008MMAOHW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392843032&sr=8-1&keywords=5.5mm+wrench http://www.brownells.com/shotgun-parts/sights/sight-parts/front-sight-parts/front-sight-retaining-nut-sku301000502-23654-50339.aspx haha....I just realized, you didn't mention what shotgun it's for.....I just assumed m4 Edited February 19, 2014 by tinman1975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I have a Craftsman Ignition Wrench set that had the right size among them for the front sight post. Tiny little open-end wrenches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerDanger Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 http://www.amazon.com/Craftsman-Metric-Combo-Ignition-Wrench/dp/B0026XTG1I/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_img_y I bought this set for the job. It works okay, but you're going to swear a lot anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout_21 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I use the 5.5mm craftsman ignition wrench too. Not to side track too far...but how do people align the front site when they re-tighten. I use a q-tip cut in half and wedge a piece on both sides of the sight to keep it straight. Then cross my fingers when I tighten that the front stays centered on the post so I don't have to realign too much at the range. I'd love to hear any other/better suggestions!

tinman1975 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think I used another really small wrench that was just a little bigger than the front sight blade to hold it centered while I tightened the nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmcrigger2007 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 What brand of front sight did you replace the old one with? Did you go with the benelli night sights ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
