Tri the FP with original sight before installing the Firesight. IMHO the Firesight is too bright, and you may find it easier to shoot well with a standard bead or post.

67 mm can be shot in 65mm/ 2½ inch chambers but beware of putting 70/ 2 3/4 mm there.

By the way, old hotguns deliver the best patterns with fibre wad loads. Plastic wads pattern too tightly to be useful.
