Will this rear sight work with this front sight both on the same level base?

Those two sights are on the same plane, so there's no issue there. Sounds like you are putting them on a scope rail over the receiver. If that's the case, you're probably not going to like the result. The line of sight is going to be so high as to preclude you from getting any kind of useful cheek weld.
 
looks nice, same plane wont be an issue, you aren't going for 100 yds... :) besides, front and rear are elev. adj. able

slap em on, get em close and have fun! I'm even thinking you might even want a meprolight/ dotted sights for fast lock on in low light :D

oh btw, now you gotta post pics when you're done hehe

what do you recommend?
 
Home defense and a range gun. I shoot slugs most of the time but don't want to buy a new barrel with rifle sights.
 
At home defense ranges, normal shotgun "point and shoot" aiming will work. Even the bead sight will do if you have one. Generally, bolting more stuff onto a shotgun tends to make it work against you, not for you.

If you are dead set on having rifle type sights on your shotgun, do it the right way by installing a proper front sight on the barrel and and a ghost ring on the receiver. This is a better solution than the "rifle sights on a scope mount" rig because they are 1) mechanically simpler, 2) designed for the purpose, and 3) will give you the proper cheek weld and eye relief for the rear aperture.
 
Where can I have that work done? Would the local gunsmith most likely be able to do it?
