Removing Front Site on Winchester SXP

[OldSavage]

I was wondering if anyone could help me with regards to removing the front site from my Winchester SXP? I've removed many other front sites in the past but this one defies me.

any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

Is it a brass bead or the Tru glow fibre optic . the brass bead is more than likely crimped into the rib and not readly removeable would be my guess .

the front sight ..tape the barrel and carefully file it down ..

It is a fibre optic site. When I remove the choke I can see that there is a hole there but it definetly wasn't threaded.

I don't know about the SXP, but to give you a heads up, the ivory bead on my SX3 was loc-tited in. If the bead screws out, look out for that.
