hate to send you elsewhere, but the same question on Colt Forum or Rimfire Central may get a quick answer

You mean a .070" blade or 70 thou taller? 70 thou taller than what?
Dunno if this'll help. 1/10", 1/8" and .385".

Need to add 0.70 to existing blase.

It the Huntsman of the final series of Woodsman.

Numrich has blades for the Second Series that were pinned to the barrel ramp. Mine is single blade that is eitheer press fit into the top of barrel or silversoldered to the barrel/

Their site shows different sight blades. Adding 70 thou could be done by welding/silver soldering a bit of brass on top of the existing blade and filing. Assumes you can see it and have some tools.

JB weld may hold as well,

Not for long, with the JB weld.

Talking with the gunsmith.
