Well whatever you do, don't damage the rear sight and sight base
on the barrel. If nothing else, you can have a barrel turned to fit as a liner to the base and the balance of it can be turned to look just like the real deal. It will make a great shooter.
My suggestion is to first make it work, and then make it pretty.
Just so you don't feel too bad, If I had $300 to gamble with, I would have done the same thing!
