Has anyone ever mounted a Creedmore type tang sight on a trapdoor?

I have my 1884 Springfield 45-70 in the shop right now having a Pedersoli Long Range sight mounted along with a front globe sight.

The tang sight must be mounted to the stock far enough behind the hammer for clearance. Just wondering if I am going to have a problem with the sight coming loose...

Thanks in advance for your comments.
