I can’t tell you how many AR’s I’ve fixed where a traditional “gunsmith” tried to do something.
The good ones are much fewer and further between than they should be.

Welcome to the club!!. Your recovery was expertly done. One CZ clone brand has such tight sight dovetails that not even a famous gun tech will replace sights on the brand. That's what he emailed to me. Yours sounds as if it is this tight. Some sight movers will not bulge these babies. Congratulations of the good job.
My gunsmith put my PX-4 slide in the freezer with it turned down as cold as it would go overnight before he installed the Trijicon HD sights ib ut.

I got tired of having to pound the snot out of (especially front) sights to get them in. You watch big name guys or manufactures on YouTube and they are just tap-tap-tap into place. I think Ted Yost even just uses a piece of hard (really hard) exotic wood. So I finally splurged on the 60 and 65 degree safe edge files Brownells sells.
Of course this just presents the opportunity for an alternative error, now instead of having bent up sights in the pistol I have a handful of sights on the bench that will take a big blob of red Loctite (or perhaps a dab of JB Weld) if I ever end up using them...
