Kimber Rear site removal?

sw686 · 12-09-2001, 09:05 PM

How do you remove the rear target site on a Kimber Stainless? I want to remove so that I can polish the slide and not hurt the side of the site any. Thanks.

686 I put you last post in the home work shop forum.

Fixed sights are driven out with a either a brass punch or pushed out with a site tool. Adjustables are the same way. Wind out the set screw or take the adjustment screw and set screw out of the adjustable. There is also a set screw on the side of some of the adjustables. I suggest you drive towards the ejection port side.

You can do faster than I can type it :grin:

No big deal I just thought you would get a faster answer and more of them here.
