Where to buy a rear sight for Norinco 1911a1?

[radmacks]

I have an add posted in the EE, and have been scouring it for a while now with no luck. The only place retail I have really seen is Marstar for the factory ones. Any Canadian retailers sell these? So far I have only found $150.00 ones. The answer check the site sponsors is not helpful as I have browsed all their pages and come up dry.

the rear sight is a standard Colt 1911 dovetail.. Gunsmiths have drawers of take-offs from when they installed adjustable sights or night sights.

Call some gunsmiths.

As usual, Ganderite is on the money!

Brownells, always scares me with the TBD shipping lol. Which option is the best to choose? Most of them are out of stock. I guess I should replace both so I don't run into size issues. I was looking at these what do you guys think?

Also narrow or wide? Narrow would be more for precision target? Wide for quicker tagert

brownells has been very good to me, even with backorder stuff(like the cz mags I ordered) was shipped in 2 weeks. the best option is the USPS which will go through canadapost because 9 out of 10 times, they don't charge you custom and tax if it's less than C$100 in value. not sure about the sight style.

Shipping at Brownells is cheap too, cheaper than from some of the sponsors on here. I think the last time I ordered something, it cost me $13 for a 12x12x6 box

The wide or narrow tenon refers to the size of the fitting hole in the slide where the front sight is staked in. The Norinco military 1911-A1 is a narrow tenon (I just installed the same MGW front sight on my Norc 1911-A1). The rear should fit, may require some filing.
