[QUOTE="NINEROUND, post: 3015751, member: 17429"] It wasn't easy. I had to tap it in with a brass punch. I didn't really achieve a true dovetail, as I couldn't get the upper angle correct with the file set I used. I'm assuming that the sight steel is harder than the shotgun rib and cut its own minute groove into the softer steel. I thought about trying to peen the top of the cut down to the sight and sort of press weld it together, but I would like to see how it shoots first before making it fixed. I guess the proof will be some slugs to see if it will take the recoil and then go from here. [/QUOTE]
