Ahhhh NO!! Very serious consideration here.
Lucky, if you cut a Dovetail into the barrel and install a from sight by that method, the gun is no longer legal for SASS CAS. Now, IF Dirty Dick does NOT intend to play the Game, it would be my first choice (I like dovetail sights).
The "Shur Hit" front sight is the easiest, simplest and quickest method. Plus it allows some more "adjustment" to point of impact. Then we have the old rule. You cannot put the metal back. File an itty bitty bit, shoot. File and itty bitty bit, shoot. When it gets close .... STOP. Chances of getting the elevation absolutely perfect is near ZERO. Close really does count.
