I have a project I'm working on and need some guidance. I asked about cutting the barrels in an earlier post, and was pointed to a great post that helped with that topic, but now I have a question about the 1858 Remington sights. I am keeping the original barrel and ordering an extra barrel and plan to cut it down to make my Remington 1858 a 3 in. snub nose. All I need to do is exchange or alternate barrels, depending on which one I want to shoot. The problem is that I will need to remove the sight, and place it onto the cut down barrel. Does anyone know how the sights are mounted to the Remington's, like are they pressed on, soldered, or screwed/threaded on? Any suggestions on how to install it on the cut down barrel?
