If I was to try to remove the front sight before cutting anything I would clamp the barrel in a vise padding it with leather or an old leather work glove to protect the finish on the barrel and use either a piece of ( wood,aluminum, or brass ) block as a drift to drive the sight off the barrel. I would think it was pressed on .I would work around the barrel (( side to side )) a little at a time tapping lightly to see if it moves . You need to look to make sure their are no pins, set screws or any fastners holding it first. howie PS their is one other thing if you have a open end wrench that fits the barrel dia. and will set against the shoulder of the sight it could work as a drift too putting equal pressure on both sides as you drive the sight off.
