sights for Norinco 1911

[ghillie]

Hey All
I was wondering what my options are for sights I can install myself on a stock Norinco .45. If not which dealer here.

My project guns are all going to have to be re-cut to accept other sights (Novak and Bomar type). The stock sights are crap but for me, the best sight options require recutting the dovetail.

As for who can do it, Gunnar (7x61), Smoking Gun FX, Roger at Dark, etc.

Am LPA adjustable rear sight is a drop in item. Works pretty good too.

Armco has some sight options but it requires machining

For my 1911A1C, a dental tool worked well to clean the cosmoline from the "white" dots of the rear sight, and some matt white model paint, like Testors, brought them up nicely. Trouble is, now I can't pick up my FRONT sight on account of the high-contrast rear sight! I need to do something with the front blade without altering its dimensions. Got some luminous tape, like that used on the 60mm mortar tubes, and I'll try tacking a little strip on. An easy, non-gunsmith fix...maybe...
