I know this question have probably been answered before but could not find it. I just got myself a Norc 1911 sport model and was thinking abour upgrading the sight on it. Are the dovetail to a standard or do I have to have my slide recut to accept standard 1911 sight (like novak)?

From what I have found, the rear sight groove is very close to the mil-spec 1911 groove, but I have not confirmed that by fitting a mil-spec sight into the groove. The front dovetail is like nothing else I have found. I just had Rodger Kotanko at Dark International mill my slide and install a Bo-mar adjustable sight along with a matching fiber optic front on my Norc 1911. Hopefully, I have the slide back by this weekend to see it in person.

If you got the sport model you should have pretty good sights on it.I know mine did.
If you dont mind me asking how much did the milling cost?
Bomar sight $60, installation $75, fiber optic front sight and installation $50. With taxes and shipping it was a bit over $200.

I am not trying to start a fight here but wouldn't it just be easier to buy a Spartan with those kind of sights already on it. Or is there something else that I am missing here?

Possibly, but a Spartan is still $800+ and I am not into my Norc for that (yet). The new Spartan IV's that Armco lists don't have the Bomar style rear sight anymore, either. I am sure the new sights are still better than the Norc 1911 sights, though.
