[QUOTE="NINEROUND, post: 3015662, member: 17429"] I had an extra XS Big Dot night sight from a Kimber I got in trade. I have a shot barrel Remington 870 that needed a front aiming point. The light goes off in my head to put the XS on the rib and have a glow in the dark sight on the home defense shotty. So, out come the files and the work begins....I ended up with what is pictured below. The sight is in the groove I cut tightly, although it isn't really dovetailed. I did go a little too deep on the cut, so there is some air and light on the left side. Maybe fill it in with some solder? If I did go that route, would it add strength to the sight? I haven't fired it with the sight in place yet (just got a fresh box of slugs today) so I can't say if it will with stand recoil yet and not fly out. Should I wait to fill the gap until I shoot it or see if it will stay in place without? Thanks for any advice or similar experiences. [/QUOTE]
