I know he has been using the Mauser sights, but they have a different dovetail. I would prefer not to create the "gunsmith's mess" you're talking about, and find something that's a direct fit.

The golden rule is to always modify the least expensive part (which is something I have learned the hard way...), so I would rather file a bit on a sight than on a barrel.

Or you can simply hold 3 inches below. I would.

Nope. Leaving it alone is no fun, gotta tinker with it.

This work that GT did was to a J Dewey aftermarket barrel that had no front sight dovetail to work with. It was not an OEM barrel.
