Winchester 1885 front sight removal?!

Post by KLNC »

First post on Leverguns, sorry it has to be a plea for help.

Has anyone removed the front dovetailed sight from one of the Winchester 1885 replicas? I have two, 30-30 and 38-55, and want to replace the factory front sights with Shavers. The factory sights will simply not come out. I've tried everything including some real pounding to no effect. It's like they're welded in there. Any tricks out there I'm not thinking of? Never seen anything so tight.
