I've had one of the "Irish Contract" rifles for a few years now but haven't really shot it much until lately. A couple of cases of the Greek ammo from CTD () has gotten my interest back up. After firing a couple hundred rounds I decided my 63 year old eyes need some help so I obtained a PH5C to assist there. Installation seems fairly straightforward, however, the original sight has that little pin securing the pivot screw. I did a bit of light tapping with a punch but it doesn't want to budge. Looking a little closer, it seems that the pin might be secured by a staking divot in the receiver, but my eyes may just be seeing things there. I haven't been able to find any detailed instructions on that. The only thing I've found so far is someone describing installation of the PH5C with words to the effect of " . . . you'll have to remove the pin securing the screw on the original sight . . . ". I don't want to go framming away on the pin and possibly peening it so that it'll never come out short of using a hacksaw or blowtorch. I may decide to just stick with the original sight. Any advise here? Thanks for any help.
