Front sight removal

#1 Post by pellet head »

What would be the best way to remove the front sight on a Crossman Quest? I'd like to put a muzzle brake on.

Yes i took mine off and put it back on straight.
I tried the Hairdryer trick and it did not work for me.
So i put the front sight in boiling water on & off until it got loose.
Watch yourself it gets hot.
