I thought a good clean up and plumbers solder would be they way to go to put a matching sight base on.
Or would that wreck something?

Solder works just fine but is more effort. It does require a steel or brass base though. Steel is handy because it can be fabricated. Like when one needs to build a bridge for a split receiver.
Like this one. This was my first effort. The second one for my fathers rifle was a better attempt.
It was supposed to be a temporary arrangement from which I was going to model something better and more permanent. That was 40 years ago. It became permanent a long time ago!
