Maybe your new gun was modified by several people with different skill levels. I do not care for the carving, but it looks like it was nicely done, if it had been checkered instead the seller would have probably gotten a lot more money. That front sight does look terrible. Try scraping off a piece of the excess solder with a knife and determining the melting point. If it is low, the sight could be removed with no further damage to the barrel by heating it with care not to damage the bore. One could probably cut it off at 24 inches and recrown it as another solution. One more way to fix it would be to turn, mill, and reshape what is on there now. Either fix would be easy for me as I have a fairly well equipped machine shop, but I could do a fairly decent job of fixing what is there with only a couple of files and a bench grinder.
If you do not have the skills yourself, a good gunsmith could clean up that sight in a couple of hours assuming the bore was not damaged in attaching it.
