    I'm trying to remove the factory mounted rear ghost ring sight on my 590A1.
    Looks like this: http://www.mossberg.com/cgi-bin/commerce.exe?preadd=action&key=95300

    Is the rearmost "stud" on the bottom of the sight a pin (punch it out) or a screw? It looks like the "stud" is in one of the predrilled/threaded scope mount holes, but I can't figure out how to get at the head of the screw and there is not enough clearance between the sight and the top of the receiver to turn the whole sight to unscrew it.

    Any suggestions (besides leave well enough alone), because I gots to know how it's on.... ;) Thanks!
