Czgunsalot Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Brass punch should do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joedirt199 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Make sure to raise the set screws a good amount. There is a recess under the sight they fit into and you could still be hitting one of the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Heavier hammer. Gunsmith hammer too light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansb57 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 And clamp it in a well mounted vice. Your hand or a not well mounted vice aborb the impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregJ Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I like sight pusher tools. https://czcustom.com/cz-rear-sight-pusher.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urmaker45 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Just get a punch and a hammer I had to push mine over just as well and it takes some force and like others said make sure the screws are backed out . I used a punch small enough to put force on the grove part of the sight to mimic a sight tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoRivera Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Also, not sure how it is on the Shadow 2 since I no longer own one, but on an SP01 Accu-Shadow I had to heat up the sight quite a bit and even apply a little penetrating oil down the set-screw hole because there was a glob of red Loctite down there. And this was from the factory. Either that or freezing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried every one i have and cannot find one that fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joedirt199 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I think it is metric #4 or something like that. I have a bunch of loose wrenches on my bench and just keep trying ones till it fits. I am terribly unorganized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried every one in my tool box and out of 50 plus could not get one that would fit right. Crazy. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almo Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I had the same issue. I couldn't even move it with a sight mover. Then I got one of these. It was still difficult, but I was able to move it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joedirt199 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Alright it is a metric #2 allen wrench. Heat it up with a solder iron in case it has some loctite on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
