Front Sights for Springfield 1911 Range Officer

Post by Bigkev 2.0 » 16 Jan 2018, 12:45 pm

Hi All,

Anyone with a SA RO, been trying to find a replacement front sight, but getting mixed answers in regards to the dovetail cut on a full size RO.

Can anyone help? :unknown:

Hi Wrenchman,

Yeah, Novak cuts (from reading, appears to be 0.33" x 65°), however, I've also read Springfield can also have 0.33 x 60°.
Its my first 1911, so I'm not sure what to aim for.

Thanks,

I've emailed SA for the specs, I'm hoping for a local suppy (fingers crossed). Shipping from the US to Australia is expensive even for something small as pistol sight surprisingly
