Gunsmith to install banded front sight

[Taj]

I'm looking for a gunsmith who can properly attach a banded (likely NECG) front sight on a .458 win mag that's had the barrel cut to 20". Close is better but anywhere that does good work. I'm in NE Indiana. I can have the barrel removed and just send it for the sight install with the barrel marked at top dead center.

NEGC make a fisrt class banded front sight. Not sure why your smith won't install, it's really a simple process. There are many gunsmiths that will not do soft or silver solder work these days, which is too bad. It scares a lot of them but it is not hard to do.

Here is a Rigby style rifle I'm building that has a NEGC banded sight, sling swivel and rear sight. All of them require soldering for a proper install.
