It is extremely
important to note that many of the sights in this
section are sold in unfinished form. They are supplied
in-the-white and are not shaped, serrated, cut to height
or blued, photographs of finished, installed sights
notwithstanding. To achieve the appearance of the sights
shown in the photos, you or your gunsmith will have to
engage in various
milling/drilling/silver-soldering/finishing operations
to attractively install these on your gun. Since we
cannot know the exact nature of every application, we
cannot supply these sights shaped or finished since this
would require that we know the exact height of the blade
which we cannot know until and unless the blank is
installed on the gun and the gun test-fired. Pinned
blades cannot be pre-drilled as there is too much
variation in factory blades and virtually no chance of a
good fit. Each blade has to be fitted individually.
Silver soldering, where required, will destroy the local
bluing and require that the barrel/sight be re-blued.
These parts are delivered with instructions for
installations. However, when you see this symbol:
...please refer to this warning and understand that skilled gunsmithing, with the attendant tooling, machinery, fixtures and finishing equipment, will be required for proper fitting and professional results. --close this window when finished-- |
