Browning B-22 sights

[RainDodger]

Hi, guys - quick question. I'd like to replace the very hard-to-see front sight blade on a Browning B-92 lever action (.44 Magnum) with a blade that at least has a gold or white bead on it.

It appears that the front sight is in a VERY tiny dovetail, but it's hard to tell. Does anyone know for sure how the factory sights are installed on this rifle? One guy told me it's in a dovetail, but I saw where someone else said they're silver-soldered on.

EDIT: ACK! I mean a Browning B-92 (ninety two!)... I can't change the title!

Thanks a bunch.

I have a B-92 and having taken a good look I say silver soldered. I see no signs of a dovetail at all. Aren't they generally standardized in size?
Were I in your shoes and wanted a new sight (I really like the front & rear sights on mine) I would consult a qualified gunsmith .... so I really can't help beyond this.

That's what I figured, thanks.
