Front Sight
Posted: Wed Jul 01, 2009 3:05 pm
I am trying to find a front sight replacement for the CM2. Currently, the front sight will not move from left to right and had no luck with repairs. Any suggestions?

Note that I also had to heat the front sight a bit as Izhmash uses an epoxy to hold it on too .... it really did not have to get too hot to bump the sight off. I used a propane torch & about 15 sec of heat on the sight.It is a simple operation to remove the front sight. Please observe the large hole in the top of the front sight. This hole allows access to the set screw screw that holds the sight on. Insert a blade type screw drive in the hole and remove the set screw. Take a piece of 2X4 and place it behind the sight and hit it with a hammer. The sight will slide off with some effort. Also you can use an aluminum bar as a punch to remove the sight, Any problems give me a call at 805 720 7720.
