Sounds like time for a Dremel tool with cut off wheels.

No... That was a joke.

For real this time. If its installed the way I would expect

1. remove brake
2. use roll pin punch to remove roll pin in front sight that pins sight to barrel
3. use soft (brass, aluminum, plastic, wood, etc.) drift and a lite hammer to tap front sight forward off end of barrel. this assumes the sight was slipped onto the barrel and not threaded on (unlikely in my opinion)
may want to wrap the barrel with masking tape behind barrel to protect finish

Thats what I was thinking, but the pin didnt want to come out that easy. I will try it again soon. Thank you!

Proper fitting punch, sharp blows with lite hammer. My 4 oz hammer gets a lot more use than my heaver ones. use a soft block of wood to support the sight / barrel
