Babs Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Can someone tell me how to completely remove the rear sight from my M2 rifled barrel? I installed a leupold slam scope and it's so close to the rear sight base I can't get the lens cap on. Is it silver soldered to the barrel?

Steve Rose Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 The sight is soldered on and will take A LOT of heat to remove. I have cut/ground off one of those sights before. Obviously this leaves a bare spot on the metal that will want some type of finish applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NineInchNails Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Have you considered using a slightly taller mount? I prefer to use QD mounts so that the front & rear sights can be used if desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
