Not Nedroe but here are some photos of how front sight on my revolvers are attached.

Left is a Model 1917, cut to 4” and the original front sight and ramp cut from the barrel, shaped on the bottom and soldered in place. The half moon sight was then reshaped and the gold bead added.

Right is the Model 25-2, cut to 4.25”, the ramp and sight cut from the original barrel leaving a tab under the ramp. The top of the rib was slotted for the tab and the sight ramp soldered in place.

Alternatively, you could leave the tab longer and pin it through the rib.
