    1851 Navy revolver

    I have an 1851 navy replica revolver that shoots about 12 inches high at 25 yards. I would like to put a new front sight on the pistol. I have seen a dovetail cutter in one of the blackpowder catalogs that I have. Would there be any problem with me doing this, for example is the barrel thick...
