I just purchased a used AMT auto mag 11 and noticed the firing pin does not move smoothly.  I assume I have to remove the rear sight in order to access the pin holding the firing pin and spring in place.  I removed the roll pin supposedly holding the rear sight in place but it will not separate from the slide.  I have some Krol working on the area now.  I just don't know if there is any other reason why the rear sight won't  separate from the slide.  The firing pin will stick in the "fire position" when pressed, not a good thing, I would imagine.  Any comments would be appreciated.

lyktorct   remove the 1/6" pin in the sight and remove the sight level adjusting screw and it should come off.

Thank you, that did the trick,  BUT, I found a very small, less than 1/8 " wide, C clip underneath it.  Any idea where that came from??  I've checked the listing of parts at Numericks and can't find any C clip on the handgun.  It is very very thin, but nonetheless, a C clip.  I can't imagine it could be part of the rear sight.

That one I dont know could be a broke rap off of the spring. Are someone could have put it on the screw to kept it from getting lost or something.
