Anyone know how to get this apart for mounting? I thought the cross pin would punch out but it seems it is integral to the sight itself, according to this image from Numrich:

SOLVED!

I also posted this on the Rimfire Central Forum and the answerwas obvious... once it had been explaind to me. The sight body is removed by pressing down and sliding it back until the cross pin clears the (very subtle) relief slots in the ears of the base. Apparently this is common on Mauser rifles of the period.
