I have a SBH that shoots 6-8 inches high at 25-50yds with the rear sight screwed all the way down. I called customer service yesterday, and they are sending out a Hunter sight .390 to me free of charge. Sweet. Ok, now how do I get the pin out (I don't have a vice, or punch).

gramps... you're gonna need a roll punch... not sure how else to get it out w/out one.

Ok, do they come in sizes or does one size fit all? Can I get it
Done without a vice?

get yourself to a hardware store, buy a punch (brass preferrably, appropriate size). Stabilize the muzzle, tape off the blued finish if you lack hammer skills. Tap the punch slowly and lightly with a small hammer or the butt of a SA revolver.

Gramps,

I just did this...I'll post directions tonight. You'll need a 1/16" punch and drill bit to complete it.

Thanks guys. I have very little mechanical skills, and only basic
tools (lost the few I had in the divorce). With your help I 'll get
it done.

With what you describe in your tools and ability,,,

My advise is find a local Gunsmith and give him some Cash, Denero, Quid, Bucks, Green.
You do have to drill the new one and it's a 1/16 drill bit, they snap off easy.

The cost of the correct punch, new sharp drip bit, clamp, mallet, file, drop of cutting oil, and what ever else you might need.

Just as easy to drop it off at the Gunsmith..... IMO

If you buy the tools this time you will have them when you do this again. Just my 2 cents worth.

Definitely food for thought. I have a few days to price things
and make a decision.
Thanks
