Then, there's this one sight base. I didn't know you must first flatten the ears with a hammer and fold the sight post over to allow an even surface for the vise! Never seen this method before.





Once you get the vise torqued to the proper 150lbs, you must then use an extremely oversized punch to remove the taper pins.





But of course, they will not move in this direction, so you must try again with the same punch from the other side.
