Well that was easy!

After doing some research and reading the troubles of people getting the front sight of their 10/22 I decided it would be best to try this out. Took about all of 5 minutes to get the front sight off with ease. No gun vise and no additional hands needed super easy.

Worked great on Ruger 44 Carbine

Easily removed OEM front sight on Ruger 44 Carbine that would not budge with punch. Made installing a replacement fiber optic front sight a breeze. Should work on any ramped front sight.

Easy to use

Very simple to use. Works well and effortlessly.

Excellent when you follow the directions

This product will only work on ramped front sights, like Ruger 10/22, Remington 870 Express shotgun barrels with sights or other firearms with ramped front sight bases and a dovetailed sight. It will not work with round barrels. If you use it as designed, it is excellent. I used it to install a new front sight on my Ruger 10/22 and it worked perfectly.

Williams Front Sight Pusher

Finely machined material, couldn't be better. Used it to place higher front bead sight on Williams shorty ramp. Was going to just use mallet and punch but I thought, why not do it right this time? Glad I did. It took about 2 minutes to R/R the bead. Not a scratch or a mar on my custom .45 Colt. Not sure what else it will be used for (Glock, S&W) but for any Williams ramp, it's perfect.
