Adding rifle sights to H&R Pardner single-shot?

[Navy_Guns]

I bought an 8" rifled insert in .38 Special for 12 gauge and there's a H&R Pardner at my LGS for cheap. Does anyone know a feasible way to add rifle sights to a H&R Pardner that only has a front bead? I don't much care if it's beautiful, the rest of this gun isn't other than the color case hardening on the receiver. It was somebody's "truck gun".

You can be pretty accurate with a bead sight. If it had a rib it would be easy to add sights. What's your skill level.

It’s been done. The best I have seen were soldered on. I think it was on a 10 ga too so the recoiled would have been fearsome but they still held up.

JB Weld and the sights of your choice would work

There some products that you can mount to a shotgun rib. For example

I have a set that goes on the rib, look like they would work real good. I am gathering some things to sell think they will go to.

JB Weld will work. You have to be careful about centering the sight on the barrel and finding a sight that has a base that matches the contour of the barrel.
Also....with a little practice, you can become quite accurate with that insert and just a bead. After all, you are not gonna be shooting long range.....i have a similar insert in .45 ACP and within 25 yards, i can hit what I am aiming at.....soda cans and such.
