Hello the Fire,
I have a Miroku made 1892 with tang safety which I want to remove to install a different tang sight, with a longer base. The sight mechanism is held in place by a screw or stud with a square head. If this is removed, the "bar" could then be rotated so slot aligns with another another pin with angled head and lifted off.
I am not sure if the square head screw/pin is threaded or pressed in. I have tried to unscrew it with as much force as I thought I dared, with no joy, and without knowing what the configeration is, do not want to strip it. I have a Japanese built 1886 that I removed the safety from years ago for same purpose and don't recall having any difficulty, but am a snowbird and the removed safety is back home, so can't look at it to see if the same mechanism.
Anyone out there with experience or knowledge of this?
Thanks,
Jackpine
