G.T.,

This is what I have done: crazy glue a piece of thin bronze shim stock to the bottom of the sight. Polish down the shim stock with 400 grit sand paper as needed (if needed) for a tight fit in the dovetail. The advantage is that the fix is removable with no damage to the sight or barrel.

I can send you a piece of .008 bronze shim stock.

Default sounds best so far?

Hi Karl! I was thinking along those lines using steel shim stock?.. I hadn't thought of the glue though?.. Great idea, I'm going to try it with the steel first, if not successful, I'll contact you for the tried and true bronze / brass piece?
Thanks to all for the input and ideas.. All viable, but most are for personal use, and not really what I like to do for sale items?.. But, as mentioned, most have merit... best to all, til....lat'r.....GT
BTW, I like major Toms idea as well... then, a standard front sigh can be utilized with little additional effort... ...GT
