Hi, I just bought a norinco m305 and I was trying to remove my rear sight.
I used this guide http://sageebr.com/files/2/0/3/3/4/252799-243302/USGI_SIGHT_ASSEMBLY_DISASSEMBLY_TUTORIAL.pdf
and this one Tony_Ben_M14_Complete_Disassembly.pdf.

When i loosen the split nut in the windage knob the nut come apart. After this I try to pull the elevation knob out but it is really stuck in here and it is still functionnable. I tried to unscrew the nut in the elevation knob but it does nothing. So I'm not able to remove the elevation and the windage .... There's someting I dont understand :S

Thanks for your help !
 
To remove sights follow these steps:
First adjust windage all the way to the left as far as it will go.
Next, undo the windage lock sleeve with flat blade screw driver, turn until loose, do not try and remove, collar is held in with a retaining clip.
Next, with collar loose, undo the windage knob and remove the knob.
Remove elevation pinion by pulling out of sight base
Remove aperture
Insert flat blade screw driver into aperture area under sight cover and gently pry up until it springs loose.
Done.

Installation,
Clean and regrease all parts
Install sight base and rear cover together
Dab of grease to receiver at sight location recess
Use flat blade screw driver under back of sight base on bottom lip of sight cover and push firmly, sight cover should snap into place
Next, install aperture
Next install elevation pinion, ensuring it is completely in and meshed with aperture.
Slide sight base to the left side
Install windage knob with your thumb, turn the lock collar only in a reverse direction until you feel it sink in a bit it has now engaged the pinion shaft correctly
Next turn the collar with screw driver forward until it comes just snug
Then turn windage knob to engage with sight base
Adjust lock collar as needed to tighten or loosen the sight knobs
 
Great pdf was just posted here and the rear sight is in there.

Oh... Ok sorry my bad I read your instruction wrong. I was trying to remove the elev when i had to remove the windage first :S

Thanks guys.. I feel stupid now :D
 
Just like the bolt, putting it back together is much more challenging than taking it apart. Good Luck;)

On the assembly the hardest part for me was getting the feel of the windage screw engaging the pinion...the step is in bold below
