Hi Fellas
I'm hoping this don't sound too stupid:roll: which way do you remove the front sights of a Rossi 92 Puma(454 Casull)? & the back sights too?
I have a set of HiViz sights to install.
Help please?[smilie=1:

I got mine out by using a brass punch. Don't be surprised if you have to shim the new sights to get a tight fit. I also peened the front sight a bit to get it tighter.

If they are in a dovetail its always push in to the left and out to the right.

Rick N Bama-What sort of sights did you replace yours with?
Shim it,do you mean under the sight base or the sides???

Remember when you put the new sight in it can't be too tight of a fit. The metal under the front sight is very thin and ifthe sight is too tight it will buckle into the barrle and put a wrinkle in the bore. Tis will ruin accuracy.
