Hey, I've got a Classic Arms kit gun that I want to add beads to for front sights. It's the little "Twister" cap and ball derringer. I bought a little kit with a drill bit, a tap and two beads for this purpose. So......... Do I drill through into the bore and then file off the butt end of the bead from inside the bore? Or should I stop short leaving a blind hole and then fit the bead to the desired height before using threadlock on it? The barrel is pretty thick and I think a blind hole is doable, but what is the standard procedure, if any for this? Bear in mind that this is a toy gun. It should be as nice as possible but the actual criteria is pretty low.
