I am assuming soldiered because before I made my first post I was able to snap off the rising section of the ramp with a couple of light taps on the back of a hardened steel wedge. Looked at the underside of the piece and top of barrel and there was not solid metal flow, by any means, and slight pin head dots of rust(not solid contact). When I got to the section under the dovetail there was very solid contact. Chose the hack saw with lots of oil over grinding because I did not want to get anything hot. Took the last 1/16" off with a file. When I got through the sight metal it looked like silver soldier and filed away very easy. Then sanded and wooled to barrel metal. I'm no metallurgist but that's what it looked like.
