Can anyone tell me how to remove the front and rear sight bases from the barrel of a #1mkIII 303 rifle? Are the soldered on or held in place by a drift pin or screw?
Any help greatly appreciated.

They're pinned on. I can't remember which side they are pinned from though, and my rifles are stored half an hour from here.

Cheers,

A pin drifted in from the left. There is a co-axial woodruff key which means the sight block cannot be twisted off, it needs to be whacked from behind with a brass drift - (after removing pin!)
