I have a JC Higgins model 45 which is basically a Marlin 336. I am trying to drift out the rear sight without much success. Drifting left to right. Brass punch and mallet. Put some Kroil on. Nothing doing. Words of wisdom or ideas? Thanks!
All right. I’m going to try that and give it some time@HJ267
Put some heat to it, do you have a hot air gun or maybe sneak the wife's hair dryer out.
Then more Kroil oil after it gets hot.
Tap some more.
Repeat the above.
You have years of build up to overcome.
The opposite of heat may work too. I've put stuff in the freezer based on advise I got here. The stuck pins came out after that.
Just to be clear. Put the whole rifle in the freezer?Be a scientist instead of a caveman; put it in the freezer a couple of hours.
