22man, for a .22 you could easily epoxy the front sight on with a good product like JB Weld or Devcon. Both give enough working time so that you can make adjustments to ensure the sight is aligned properly. The problem you might run into is finding a sight with the right radius. If the barrels have any taper at all the radius will change as you move toward the receiver. What happens is, if you try to use the sight that was already on the barrel, you wind up with only the edges of the sight base touching the barrel. You could possibly use enough epoxy to "build up" or fill the void under the sight. You need to make a good measurement of the barrel diameter at the point where you plan to put the sight and then see a. if your old sight will work or b. what is available that will fit the barrel at that point.
