TC Hawken rear sight

[BIGBEAR]

I recently purchased a older TC Hawken kit gun
I noticed that the rear sight was loose.
I took the elevation screw out and thought the top portion of sight would lift off the base ..
It will not , do I have to remove the hinge roll pin , to get the sight apart to tighten the base screws ?

You may have one of the sights where the rear of the insert catches on the base and will not allow total removal w/o removing the roll pin. Use a 1/16" roll pin punch.

Yes you have to remove the roll pin. If the sight's already loose be careful not shear the screws off when trying to tap the pin out.
