Note that this method will just as easily give the amount by which the rear sight should be changed. Do the calculation, and on the first filing, do not take off more than the calculated amount.
Of course, a qualified smith will know that, and won't take off as much as the calculated amount before shooting and fine tuning.

Filing a rear sight may sound like a simple job, but it isn't easy to keep all the angles correct, central, and symmetrical.
Fully agree. Also, the flats of the V must be filed so that they're angled away from the shooter's eye (they should be beveled sorta like a knife edge), otherwise glare off the flats will cause the front bead to fuzz out. Sincerely, I think it needs to be done by someone familiar with it.
