Anyone know how to flick the rear iron sight off a Mod 2 Brno, I just need it off to get the eye relief right.

Cheers

You can drift the leaf out with a punch, gently, gently, you cannot remove the base of the mount as it is part of the barrel, at least that is the case with my old 1971 model. Can you put up a photo of what yours looks like, come are soldered on.

I,ll post one up to tomorrow night, but yeah the mount is fixed to the barrel. I thought the drifting would be an option, I just get cautious as that little bigger Murphy seems to appear every time I attempt stuff like that.

Cheers

Pretty sure I knocked the pin out of mine to remove the leaf (bloody long time ago now so hard to remember to be honest)

Push down over the top of the pin and then push whole assembly rearward.

9 inch angle grinder will do it
