    Lyman rear sight ?

    On a GPR, I removed the little spring in the rear sight, reinstalled the screw. Screwed it down tight to make it a fixed sight. Had to shim one side. Applied red loc tite to the cross pin and the perimeter of the sight in the base. Works for me. I did need to lower the front sight height a...

    1/16th touch hole

    If you can find a nut of the correct size, screw the liner into nut, insert the nut into the vise, and drill the liner 1/16. Worked for me.

    Can I open this rear sight up and how much is normal?

    Go slow with that file on the front sight. You may not need to remove as much height as you may think you do.

    Enlarging touch hole

    Have you set the breech end of the barrel in hot soapy water. That may loosen any fouling holding the liner and allow removal of the liner. If that fails, I would try kroil to seep into and around the liner threads. Kroil is good stuff.

    What is Wrong in this Picture?
