A bullet-tip will work, IF the tip is sharp enough to begin with, but only barely, and only until the tip of a single bullet is chewed up. It's an if-nothing-else method.
May be worth putting a small drop of lube on that pin, and it'll get easier after some time getting used to the whole push-then-rotate thing.
Below is a photo I just now took. The gun is brand new, and I did take a closeup photo of the front sight before I ever shot it, but unless someone wants to see it for comparison, I figure it’s probably better not to clutter someone else’s thread with a bunch of my photos.
I have heard that the tools don’t fit Troy sights, but mine is all stock 6920 and still under 200 rounds.
First thing I tried was a bullet tip. We ended up using a ball point pen to push the pin down, and a knife to rotate the plate, and the knife wasn’t working too well. After I got home, I tried a couple of allen wrenches. One to push the pin down and get the plate started, and a smaller one I could stick in one of the slots to rotate it. That method seemed to work, so I put the wrenches in my gun bag. I thought about oil, but the pin pushes down freely and easy. The trick is to stay on the pin and not slip off.
The material the plate is made of feels real soft. The bottom slot in the photo looks a little chewed up.
