Believe me I am no gunsmith but I do like to tinker.Many years ago I bought a Stevens Youth Model 15-A. for $20.00. I decided to "cut it down". I shortened the barrel and filed a groove for the front sight and cut off part of the stock. But I filed kind of crooked. The sight is not level and it's out of kilter.It's probably good enough for a .22 and some rat shot. One of my next projects is (finally) to possibly try and straighten out the front sight. To take the old one off I need to probably tap it out. Do they have a slight taper and need to be punched out in one direction?
