Semi,
I spent the afternoon doing just that. I was going to just change out the original sights, but the hole spacing was different on some of the other T/C spare sets that I had. I opted to remove the Patridge rear sight and file/stone the notch somewhat deeper and wider, with a "V" notch leading into a round bottom much like the Hawken rear sight. I also installed the Hawken bead front sight which is .080 higher than the original Patridge blade. This should get me back down where I need to be with room for adjustment. I took my time on the sights and blued them when done. The rear notch looks really good, you really have to look close to tell it's been done by hand.
