The Smith & Wesson 610 is an imposing revolver any way you look at it. The big handgun is chambered for the powerful 10mm Auto round and can hold up to six bullets in its cylinder. While the sights on the 610 have a reputation for being well designed, gun owners are notorious for wanting to tinker and customize their favorite "piece" to suit their own individual styles. Fortunately, Smith & Wesson took this into consideration, and made the front sight of the big revolver quite simple to remove and replace if needed.
Instructions
1. Open the cylinder and remove any cartridges that might be loaded in the cylinder chambers. Unloading your weapon should always be the first step when you are working on a firearm.
2. Close the cylinder and turn the 610 so that you are looking straight at the barrel. Locate the small pinhole right above the barrel. This is the front sight take-down pin.
3. Place the punch or push-rod into the pinhole and strike the butt end lightly with your hammer. The pin will eventually be pushed out of the 610's frame.
4. Pull the front sight straight off the 610 once the pin has been pushed out.
