Hi All
I've recently acquired an old Carcano Model 38 (91/38) that needs a bit of TLC.
One thing I've noticed (there are a few things I've noticed! But this is the one that's giving me trouble) is: someone bubba'eded the rear sight. Specifically, the little metal ridge at the front of the sight that secures the rear of the top (wood) hand guard has been filed off.

My question: how do I remove the rear sight (see pic below).
I've removed the rifle from the stock. I applied penetrating oil over few days. I removed the screw in the rear sight - I am not sure what it does yet, but it seemed like a smart thing to do, before I started tapping it. I then tried to tap it out with a brass punch... No luck. I didn't 'insist' so to speak, in case I am missing something and left it alone for now.
I was also thinking about applying heat to it and give it another go, but I thought I'd ask here first.
Is there something that I am missing. A trick to it? How can I remove the rear fixed sight on Carcano M38 carbine?
Thanks heaps!Information
