[QUOTE="ronny, post: 1889759, member: 8853"] Be patient! I've never owned an FR-8, but had a friend who did. I seem to recall he had a lot of trouble adjusting the front sight and, at one time, considered removing it, but couldn't figure it out. They have a "set screw" which must be removed to adjust it. Is that the retaining pin you're talking about? My guess is that that pin/screw must be removed and then the thing has probably time-pressed itself on there. I'd soak it a lot with penetrating oil. Also, it may be that you have to remove that fake gas tube at the same time. Not much help. Sorry. I think SurplusRifles has a Spanish Mauser section. [/QUOTE]
