I am going to replace the rear sight on an M1 carbine I recently picked up an was wondering if you just pound it out with a flat punch? I was also planning on using a brass rod to put the new one in. If anyone has some pointers on doing this I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply Team. I just got the new one in so I plan on replacing it this week. It has been very interesting reading up on this proceedure and I found out that the dove tail is not straight through but is tapered. The sight must be removed from left to right when looking from the rear and put back on from right to left.
