I can't get the original Ruger front sight off the rifle. This is driving me insane!!!! My front site is all beat up from me attempting to get it off. Anybody else have this issue? How did you resolve it? Any and all input is greatly appreciated.

I chickened out and had my local gunsmith do it.

LOL! That's exactly what I ended up doing. The installation sounds easy, but when you don't have the correct tools, you end up damaging the rifle. Anyway... the rifle was already sighted in once the sights were installed, no adjustments necessary. So that was a plus

I had trouble getting my front sight off too.  I used the Dremel w/ cut-off wheel and just cut the factory front sight in half.
