how to undo JB Weld sight?

[Flopsweat]

Is tht what they're calling Southern California now?


Way too gritty for me too!

Ever had cactus pie? It's similar to rhubarb pie, except for one thing: Desert Dessert.

I would mount the barrel in a vice. VERY carefully and deliberately cut the sight in half making sure to stop at where the sight ends and the barrel begins. Then knock the two pieces of sight out with a punch. Clean the sight slot up with a single flat side triangle file carefully.

Next time use Locktite! Always file the sight down to fit in the slot. Never file the slot open to fit the sight. Sights are cheap to replace, barrels are not.

I'd probably just put the barrel in a vise (with some material around it to keep it from being damaged by the vise), and go after it with a file.

It would take awhile, but I'm patient - or stubborn, depending on who you ask.

Good luck with your project!

Is the sight in some sort of dovetail, or is just glued to the curved surface of the barrel?

If it is just glued, have you tried putting the breach against a block of wood, have something hold the barrel vertically, and then give the sight several taps with a brass punch and a hammer? JB Weld is just hard plastic.

If you had access to equipment…. Or someone with ability and access. Buy a new sight and grind that one off.

With time and care…..
vise…
Coarse file…
Abrasion down to polish…
Could remove it all totally

Butane cigar torch. Get it any any smoke shop or shady convenience store with a pocket knife and glass pipe display. Anything over 15$ is a ride. If there is tritium or fiber optic in it that can't be pushed out, I can lend you a soldering iron or help ya with it. I have a set of wood burning tips that are wide chisel shaped; this would be your best option if there is tritium.

I wanna know where you going to find a crack smoker that will give up their torch?
I bet you'll have pay them?

He could have had mine if it was a few years earlier, traded my pipe in for high speed chicken feed.

And for shirts and grins, make it peyote cactus pie, and watch everyone get funky.

Clamp just the sight post in a vise wrap the barrel to protect the finish heat it up bend it left and right see if it breaks free

There's a mirage joke in there somewhere, I just can't see my way to it.

@Joe13 helped me do exactly this to a cheap single shot. Not because of the sight, but because I wanted it shorter. Worked perfectly and honestly hard to tell it isn't factory.

This works with the taper in the barrel? What did you use? Their pipe cutting equipment?

I have a huge assortment of wood burning chisel tips for soldering irons here, and the small butane torch, and a small shop space. I'll help you out if you're still in this bind, send me a DM. No charge, tip whatever it's worth to ya.
