Because of the angle of that v slot and the surface of the toggle, getting a file in there is not as easy as it may at first seem. Seems like the file needs to drop in front of the sight more that the circumstances will allow. I suspect that it is a mod best made with a mill.
Don't ask how I know..,.(but the answer involves my broomhandle Mauser).
If your gun is refinished or mismatched, or otherwise molested, then it probably makes no difference. But if it is a nice gun it seems sacreligious.
You may want to float the idea down in the gunsmithing column, as those guys may have some helpful hints.
