Thanks fellas
I got the Strobel front sight stake tool from Midway,
And the JMT rear sight tool from ebay.
Also, old GI sights from eBay,
And the orig old "colt wood" plastic grips from GB.

Lucky indeed! What did you end up paying for the '54, if you don't mind me asking?

I had a trade that day and I bought 2 guns from them,
so I would say I paid about $849, when I divivided between the 2 guns.

Good job restoring this old Government Model. These guns deserve to be put back to their former glory

Thanks, she's also very accurate to boot.
