Take some small pieces of thin brass, stainless or copper and fit them around the existing sight and secure them with tape. That way if you slip of something like that the areas you don't want marked up are protected.
If there is enough metal in the base you could tap it for small allen screws and run one in from each side so the locked against each other and make a sight change out easier.
What I would like to find is a source for S&W grooved ramps for when I cut down barrels. If I cut it short enough I can salve the old sight, but, if you cut it where a forged ramp is you loose that ramp.
