In back in, about .345" above the barrel. It was around .307"-.310" before.

I taped pieces of a green guitar pick in front of and behind the part that goes in the keyway, to keep the bottom of the sight parallel to the barrel, and tapped it in with the hammer (1 x 2 on top of the sight).

The LFH did just fine.
