Picked one of these up the other day as a project gun (have other 1911's). Trying to keep this one as basic USGI - like as possible, but the sights have to go. My eyes are just to old for USGI sites.
Question concerns the front sight. Obviously staked in, but is it a narrow tenon or large? I was assuming narrow but was looking at it last night and now I'm not so sure. |

If my memory serves me correctly they should be a narrow tenon. Unless RIA has changed it should be narrow. Agreed, though it shouldn't matter since you should just get Novak cuts and be done with it... Normally I would agree with this, but I have 1911's already set up like that. This is more of retro build. I even put Keyes Fibre WWII grips on it. |

You should post pics of your progress! Which I would do, except my photography equipment is even more retro than my firearms. Yes, I still buy film. Problem solved |
