So is this the best way to go about putting a front sight on a krag made for shooting?  I only have 175 dollars in it and the bore and metal under the wood is VERY good.  The metal that was exposed on top of the action is the only part that has any patina/rust but the gun doesn't have a pit in it.  The stock has a 2" crack that extends from the middle of the butt plate forward but the wood isn't separated.  It's an 1894 model serial #141XX.  Should I be thinking original front sight or could a patient hobbyist with files/dremmel with a sanding drum remove enough metal from the inside of the front sight band to make it fit if it was heated up?  Or is there some other path I should be persuing?  Thanks guys I do appreciate the help
