How do I remove the back up iron sights from my TA01NSN ACOG® in order to mount the Trijicon RedDot™?

Remove both the front and rear sight in order to properly mount the RedDot™ and to clear the sight picture. The rear sight is factory installed on the ACOG® using two hex bolts and “Red” Loctite® adhesive. In order to remove the sight, you must apply heat to the bolt area. This will loosen the adhesive grip enough so that you can remove the bolts using a standard 7/64 inch hex wrench. Please use caution when applying heat to the rear sight screws. Extreme heat may damage the internal gaskets or lens coatings of the ACOG. Trijicon recommends using a soldering iron and placing it in the screw socket. Leave the soldering iron on the screw long enough to thoroughly warm up the screw threads, allowing the Loctite to deactivate. Do note that the duration depends on the soldering iron and settings. For the front sight, first remove the TA51 mount that comes equipped with your scope. Then place the scope in a vice with the windage adjuster (the adjuster on the side of the scope and not the top) facing towards you. When placing the ACOG in the vice, use padding or another soft buffer to minimize surface scratches. Because of the amount of force generated with the use of a vice, caution should be exercised when tightening. Over-tightening the vice may lead to damage to the ACOG housing, adjustment caps or lenses which may result in the loss of the ACOG’s airtight seal. Once the ACOG has been properly placed in the vice, using a 3/16 nylon punch, tap the front sight away from you and out of the dovetail. Tap at the base of the sight (near where the sight meets the top of the ACOG housing). Do not use excessive force when tapping the front sight otherwise you may damage the sight. Both the rear and front sights can be reattached to the ACOG if properly removed. Simply screw the rear sight back into place and tap the front sight back into the dovetail groove.
