Glued in sight

[Relapse]

CZ rear sight must be glued in. Froze it, heated it, penetrating oil, tap-tap. Probably stripped the allen wrench edges. Will not budge! Any tricks before drill out?

Bigger Hammer...………..

None of mine were glued in from the factory. That said, they are very tightly fit. Only thing Ive ever had to do was remove the set screw and push out the sight with a pusher.
It does take a little oomph, though.

If you’re in the Triad, I’ve got a couple pushers.

I’m sure my pushers have affiliates in Texas.

Reminds me of a Steppenwolf song.

I understand the CZ's partially made and assembled in Kansas City have unusually tight tolerances. Roll pins are another example.

If only I could reach the bigger hammer stage! The set screw is welded in place with secret Czech magic improved combat adhesion substance stolen from mad communist invaders. Bastards....

Put it in a padded vise ( wooden blocks or thin plywood have less give than actual padding) . Brass punches, but tap- tap will not work . Needs to be wham-wham. Make sure no set screws or roll pins.
