No 1 Mk III Rear Sight Spring

[Corpbob]

Does anyone know (or have a web site address link) how to remove a broken rear sight spring on a No 1 Mk III? I've removed the ladder sight but I'm still puzzled how the spring comes out.

Remove the screw & knock out towards the receiver, it is slotted in & retained by it own spring tension.

It's dovetailed in. Drive out towards the rear

Got it! I suspected it might tap out that way, but it's amazing how much better a technique works when your sure it's right. Thanks much guys!
