Does anyone know how to remove the front sight band off of a CZ550 Safari Magnum?  "They who would give up an essential Liberty for Temporary Security, deserves neither Liberty or Security." ---Benjamin Franklin "SIC SEMPER TYRANNUS" | ||

It is soldered on, I removed the one on my 458 lott to install a barrel swivel band. I just heated with a torch & tapped off with a wood mallet. Re-heated to re-install it. Regards Mike Whiskey for my men & beer for my horses | |||

Right. It is soldered. I removed it from my 4 CZ Safaris to install Talley bands. I use kitchen electric range. Make sure you not overheat it. Blackening could change color. I check temperature by touching sitht with with piece of soldering wire and as soon wire will start to melt after contact I knock it off with some hard wood dowell and hammer. I make wery fine line accross joint of sight band and barrell as reference line before start to heat it to make sure I install it lined up exactly the same way as it was otherwise you change point of aim of express sitht. Sight is so tall, slight missalignement will force you to shift rear sight way to the one site. It just looks bad. | |||

Pencil lead will prevent solder from flowing onto places you don't want it. Just take a #2 and scribble all around the joint. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||
