I don't know what this rifle looks like.
Is this your rifle?

This shows a Verguiro rifle and rear sight. Scroll down towards the bottom.
You have to drift the pivot pin out and remove the sight blade.
I then used a brass punch of small diameter in a drill press to push down on the front of the spring and then pull the sight ladder out. The drill press makes it easy to compress the spring enough to pull it out.


Or maybe this way.

yes it is that rifle.....tried to punch the pin out but it doesnt move so i thought i ask more learned ones.
it may be just stuck so i will soak the pin with oil etc and try again
many thanks
