I posted earlier about installing a front sight in my 1870 trapdoor project rifle. I decided to dovetail the barrel and use a replacement carbine front sight. I have the dovetail cut and the front sight fits well, however it is a little too loose! I plan on taking it to the range and sighting it in for windage and then securing the front sight by peening and using red loctite. Does anyone have an alternate suggestion or tips that can help me out?
Thanks!
