gunsmith to install sights

Recommended Posts

I just replaced the factory sights with Dawson Precsion Sevigny Competition - Fiber Optic Mix sights. I had to file the base of the rear sight a lot to get the sight so that it was only sticking out about a quarter of an inch. I then pounded it in all the way with a small hammer and a 3/8" wooded dowe. The installation took about half an hour. One thing to remember, the rear sight notch is narrowest in the middle. Once the sight gets past that point, you have file the bottom of the base enough. The factory sight really sux. I pushed it out with a wooded dowl and just pressed with my hand. It has to get loose and screw up your point of aim.

 

 

If you want a gunsmith, try Marco at Paterson Gunsmithing on Main Street.

Want to bump this up...

 

 

So does anyone know of a local gunsmith to change sights?

 

I second this. I really don't want to send my XD slide back to Springfield only to have them install sights I am not thrilled with. I want some TruGlo TFO's on that beast! :)

When I bought my Glock 34 at Lawmen's Supply in Paterson, they installed my night sights for free with my purchase. You might give them a call.

 

LEO only at Lawmen in Paterson...

 

 

I think that may only be for gun purchases. I had my GSSF certificate for a Glock discount and they honored it, and the closest I come to being a cop is my haircut. :)

Might be just enough. I'll have to go after my next cut.

I would imagine you couldn't be considered a gunsmith if you couldn't install sights.

 

bring it to any gunsmith you are comfortable with.

 

Suurrreeee......Just help me find one in NJ..... Its like searching for Jimmy Hoffa....

 

Call bates Gun and tackle in North Haledon and ask for Dave.
