Follow with WD-40 to loosen things up. You have to remove the pin on the left side of the receiver to remove the sight. Easy to do, also easy to damage. TKacook

And the large pin is held in place with a very small pin (as TKacook says, you must remove the small pin on the left side of the receiver before you can drive out the large pin). The little pin is easy to loose. Once you get the large pin out, there is a spring loaded piece that bears against the bottom of the sight. Be careful you don't lose them. I have used a small finishing nail with the point clipped off to remove the small pin--it is very small! Not difficult, just don't force anything. RonP
