Can you get the factory sights and have them put on?
The factory front sight on those - I think - is similar to the 10/22 in that there is more meat in the barrel right at the end, into which has been grooved a dovetail, to slide in a front post.
I suspect a smith is going to have to D&T a front sight ramp, for a dovetail insert.
Not completely sure, though, so first hand knowledge appreciated.
