You are close and don't really want to make the front sight a stub I suspect. I'd like to make a counter-suggestion: cut a very thin HORIZONTAL groove halfway down. Temporarily fill it with white-out or silver-ink-pen, whatever you have that's bright. If it works, then clean out the groove and fill it with gold or silver wire. If you've seen Elmer's old version of this, you'll know what I mean. Had a friend who did it on his old Colt and it worked like a charm (it was easy to see)!
