The front sight blank I got with my Pecatonica rifle set is too tall and needs to be cut down. I have a front sight on a Kentucky pistol that is too short for it and needs to be replaced.
Logic says swap 'em. But the pistol dovetail is much smaller than the rifle and the sight base has already been filed down to match. I reached for my favorite metal shim, strips of aluminum soda can. It ain't pretty at first go, but I can work with it.
Before I continue down this path, is there another solution I'm overlooking?
