It's necessary to take it apart to remove the pins as the threaded rods go through the pins, they must be removed. We didn't cut a pin, we had to cut the fiber after we took the threaded rods out.

The pins didn't microadjust from the get go, we/ or I did (I think) snap the rod inside the adjustment head as it had to come out to readjust the sight lower. What we did, we had to do or he could have never used the sight to begin with as he ran out of elevation adjustments. We got him shooting perfect farther out than he had previous. The sight, threads etc is of poor design IMHO. I like the sight, the microadjustability but the lack or ease to remove or add pins.

If Matt feels I broke the sight, I'll be more than happy to replace it. That goes without question.
