[Shop-talk] Removing a dove tail gun sight....

[Elton E. (Tony) Clark]

*Kroil and patience . . *
**
*Soak a rag with kroil and use Saran wrap to keep  it in wet contact with
the dovetail for a day or two . . then start with the brass drift . . . a
few hammer hits every day both ways and repeat while keeping the sight
soaked.*
**
*If ruining the sight part is not a problem,  try applying a few hits with
an air hammer each way . . there's something about resonance that works
wonders on loosening parts. *
