I removed the screw holding the front sight and it seemed firmly attached yet, did they possibly use some adhesive? I`m using a scope and had to remove the rear sight and think it would look better with the large front sight off as well.
 
Im having the same issue with the rear sights on a cz 455 lux. Screws have been removed, but rear sight is not going any here. Any one have a suggestion?
 
455 Sights!

Not sure about the front sight but the rear sight is glued on. Had to rap mine with a plastic mallet to get it off.:HR:
 
Tried a rubber mallet, but as afraid the sight may be recessed into a dove tail of some sort. Guess i'll have to pound harderd:h: Any idea why they would do this?
 
My CZ527 carbine's front sight ramp was the same way. It's glued on. Remove screw and give it a light tap with a plastic or brass hammer (rubber won't do as it needs a sharp rap to be effective). It'll come right off.
I then cleaned the glue residue with a plastic scraper so it could be reinstalled at a later date.

Oh BTW...you may find the bluing on the barrel under the ramp less than perfect.
 
Only!

Reason I did this was cause my rear sight interfered with my scope even with the tall rings. Unfortunately the only combo 455 22lr/22mag was the Lux model which comes with the sights installed.
 
Cool to hear the experiences of taking it off, I have always wondered.

I've had 3 different scoped on my 455 and now I have a huge varmint on top, and I cannot perceive the front sight at all on any scope. fixed 4x, 3x9x40 and now 6-24x






I have myself thought about taking it off, but I like the look with it on


cheers
 
Good to hear all these experiences, I was starting to question my mental state the other night trying to rap this damn thing off to mount the scope.
 
My rear sight came off easily the front sight seems glued as well. I prefere no sights when i have a scope attached, just looks a little smoother.
 
Some guys have asked me what kind of rings I have, they are a set of high rings, but I can't remember what kind

they're about 15mm raised

One reason this scope fits is the bell extends past the sight, shorter scopes the bell would need to be adjusted as not to hit the sight

here's a pic just for you guys


cheers
