Sight Replacement on Black Widow

My Black Widow is fairly old and the factory fixed sights do not have white dots.  I ordered a set of the "new" fixed sights that do have white dots.

NAA warned me that if I damage the dove tails it would not be covered under warranty.  I have removed sights and installed new sights in dove tails with no difficulty or damage. 

Is there anything about the BW that makes it more difficult than other guns?

No, it is pretty straight forward. I replaced mine with fixed sights from the "adjustable" ones. Just make sure you loosen the screws first... :o

I do not see any set screws in the original sights.

I got nobody to have Christmas with. My brother and I have agreed not to make it a "day". Weather is going to ruin it anyway. Today is dry 40s. Starting tomorrow we go downhill, rain and low 30s. The weekend is winter mix, 20s and minus 10 windchill.... :(

I do not see any set screws in the original sights.  Are they held in place with friction only?

I made a post in my other thread so this one gets me down to 6 more?  Seems silly to make extra useless posts just to get through a probation.  But alas...

Can you see the two holes, one in each sight? Those are the set screws...
