Ok, so I've spent 2 nights now, about a total of an hour and a half, trying to remove the front sight on my 10/22 so I can install the Tech Sights I bought. I used liquid wrench penetrating oil last night and sprayed a bunch of it so would hopefully loosen it up for tonight, but still no budging. I'm using a steel punch and rubber mallet and tapping (sometimes violently striking in rage) the left side of the sight. Don't have a brass punch, would that matter? Gun barrel is supported just before the sight and I'm kneeling on the forend so the rifle doesn't move. Any ideas from anyone how I can get this thing out other than dremeling into the sight or taking to a gunsmith?
