Hi, im upgrading my sights to the Tesco Red Dot Sight

however i cant figure out how to get at the hex screw thats at the front sight

see pics below

the shoulder strap bracket is blocking access to the hex screw thats needed to be loosened so i can take the front iron sight off.

Help please!

I believe the strap loop is held in with a pin. Using a small punch like device try gently tapping it out. I'm not sure if it applies to this model but Ive noted that on some AEGs pins can be tapered so it may be easier to tap out from one side than the other.

Yup, tap out the pin holding in the sling loop.

Well i got it off, however it exposes a small metal rod and looks kinda ugly...decided to leave it on and go with the above red dot, should be ok...guess ill have to wait and see.

You should be able to remove the hex screw, the trick is moving the strap bracket in a good position wherein you could untighten and tighten the screw. I did in on mine.

yea i got it off, like i said above it exposes a silver metal bar kinda makes it look crappy. Think im gonna leave it on with the red dot.
