Picked up a Remington R12CS at auction, .22 Remington Special caliber, which as you may know is same as .22 WRF. It has a Lyman R12 tang sight. The knurled portion of the sight staff is too tight to loosen by hand, even with a dollop of liquid wrench on it. I have not seen a drawing or schematic of this sight, and before I start forcing anything, I would like to know how it is supposed to work. Can anyone help with this? I started looking on the net, finding a picture of the sight here http://www.gunauction.com/buy/10565018/gunsights/receiver-sights/rare-lyman-r12-tang-receiver-peep-for-remington-12
and still don't see why it should be seized up so tight.

The rifle is shown here: oops, they took it down. I'll try to get a picture.

It appears to me from your picture that the sight is fully extended because of the threads showing. CCW finger pressure on the knurled nut should start to lower the peep. BvT
