I just came to be the proud owner of a really nice Diana Airbug .177. I have some plans for it that begin with removing that clunky, and heavy, front sight and bob weight on the end of the barrel. Before I do some real damage to it, can anyone confirm that the sight assembly was threaded onto the barrel? Would there be something like "lock-tite" on the threads? Would any of you have a suggestion on how to get that critter off without gauging up the barrel?
Thanks very much.

I just took the front sight of a chaser rifle bbl.
Made a Delrin sleeve, 30*degree angle to fit the bevel section of the rear sight ramp,
bored a .475" hole thru the Delrin sleeve so the bbl just slipped thru,
drilled a 1/2" hole in a 18" length of 2x4.
Dropped the Delrin sleeve on the bll from the rear, slid the bbl into the hole of the 2x4,
hand held the bbl, and gave it (2x4) a moderate whack, with a steel hammer,
and the front sight popped right off with no marks on front sight or barrel.
The front sight was pressed on and has a small flat on the bottom of the bbl,
to align the front sight.
Have the bbl in the lathe cleaning up the crown and chamber ends........
