Indians For Guns

Hello,

Was just looking for for instructions on how to remove the front sight hood of the IOF 30-06. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks.

Just slide foward or backward using thumb pressure only it will do the job. Do nor pry with any tool,it will ruin it.

This was the first thing I tried. Doesnt seem to work. Any other suggestions?

Anyone?

Give it a tap on the back with a piece of wood. Sometime they are too tight to be moved by thumb pressure.

This is what I tried next after pushing with thumb pressure did not work. Doesnt work!

Couldnt move it even a milimeter. Dont want to tap any harder. I wonder if there is any other system holding it other than the slide? I could see a hole through the groove towards the front. Could this be a lock mechanism?

Well, you tried. Without seeing it I can offer no other advice. Yes, there could be a transverse hole through the ramp, with a small tooth on the hood to hold it on securely. In which case you would have to pry it out slightly with a small screwdriver while tapping it forward.

Precisely! Thats how I think it is attached. However didnt want to try the prying it out part

Will proceed with it once I have figured it out.

Thanks for replying to my query. Truly appreciate it.
