I want to replace the front sight on my stainless Mini-14. Are there tools that will allow a mar free removal, and the replacement?

Just hammering it off seems a bit stressfull for the rifle!

Hammering on a new one and getting it lined up for pin replacement seems a bit tough with normal hand tools.
 
It's pretty simple. Just drive the cross pin out and tap the sight off with a plastic hammer or a nylon drift punch.

What kind of front sight will you be installing as a replacement?
 
A Meprolight Tritium post. I replaced the rear with a large ghost ring. This makes for fast sight pickup in the Mini-14's best role as a light fast carbine.
