Stir the 1911 sub forum up a bit.

Well, I heard back from Springfield Custom Shop:

"Your pistol has a standard GI style rear sight, which would require milling for installation of any of the adjustable sight options available through our shop. Also the dovetail front sight appears to be slightly different than the Springfield dovetail cut. Estimated cost to install adjustable sights, with 3 white dots, on your pistol would be approx. $295-325. <!> Estimated turnaround time for this work would be approx. 3-5 weeks from receipt of the pistol in our shop for the work.

Since this pistol has had work done by someone other than our custom shop, the gunsmiths will need to inspect it prior to agreeing to perform any work on it."

So, I guess I'll be winging it. Wynn

Darn for that kind of money, you could probably sell your current gun, get SA's Range Officer, and still be ahead. The RO's fit is to the standard of their TRP and Trophy Match. It has nice adjustable sights as well
Here's mine:


Otherwise, I believe that LPA makes an adjustable sight that fits the "GI" dovetail. That your front dovetail does not appear to be a Springfield cut is probably a good thing as their dovetail is a unique size.

Well, I got the rear sight off! I didn't even need a vise.

I'm sure that I can find something and shape it a bit as necessary and whack it into place. I have hammers and files and other tools... just no great skills and NO patience.

Now I can relax for a bit. Wifey will be home in an hour or so.
