I want to put my scope mount but I am not able the rear sight. First step is to remove the pin on the left side of the receiver but pushing upward with a punch? that pin is through the large pin retaining the base of the sight. On the other side the pin have a screw head but I use first a screwdriver but no way it's turning.
So the pin first? Are they tough? I tried and nothing is moving.ideas?
 
I can't for the life of me get the bloody pivot pin out to remove the Mk 2 sight and make room for the Mk 1 sight. I've drifted out the retaining pin, but the pivot pin won't move more than a millimetre. I don't know if it might be warped. Any thoughts?

I might take it back to Petawawa and have a gun plumber at work look at it.
 
Might be bent. It should drive out with a punch.

The "screwdriver slot" is there so that the pin can be rotated so that the little locking pin can be tapped into place.
