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.
