858 Front sight removal?

[RoscoeP]

Anyone out there removed there CZ 858 front sight? Looks simple enough??
Mine now is to low for the rear sight I just purchased. Also thinking about dura coating the rifle myself and just going with a simple optic.
Wish I lived somewhere I could try on stuff before buying.

Removal is fairly simple but will most likely require a hammer or a mallet. The site has a pin in it to take out then a matter of hammering it off. The paint on the barrel holds things tight.
