Roll pin on my Lcr is damaged and protruding on one side

[ZedsDead]

Just picked this up today. Looks like they didn’t use a punch to instal proper. Is it ok to punch the pin out from the opposite side? I’d like to replace and do it right so it’s flush. The way it says to remove I think the metal is too bent from hammering to push from the right side. Also is anyone close to Newnan has a extra Lcr sight roll pin I’d also pay for shipping

It should be a standard spiral pin in diameter.

Drive it out, go the hardware store, and find a match. If they don’t have the exact length you need, get one a little longer and trim it down.

Do you think it would matter which side I drive it out from?

Since it’s a spiral pin, I don’t believe it matters. It’s not a tapered pin.
