The last few years I have been adding receiver sights to all my lever actions and have now come to my Browning 1886 Carbine. The receiver will get a drill and tap but it is the front sight I need ideas on. I know it will need to be taller but Browning didn’t put it on with a dovetail. It looks like a little block which I would guess is silver soldered on and a little blade held in with a cross pin. Has anyone put a receiver sight on their Browning 1886 Carbine and how did you treat the front sight? I think the options are file out a taller blade or cut a dovetail.
Thanks
