Removing Front Sight Blade on Win 70

[Shawnba67]

I want to remove the front sight on a newer Win 70 barrel. It looks like you have to drift the bead to gain access to a screw?
Any advise on drifting the bead without the proper tools, meaning no sight pusher.

If you're talking about a front sight in a ramp's dovetail, then you can use a flat tipped brass punch and hammer. Drift left to right to remove. Drift right to left to install.

And try not to snap the screw off while beating on it
