Heritage Guild (Easton)

Recommended Posts

Had a gunsmith at the Heritage Guild in Easton install some sights on my RIA 1911 and I have to say I am not happy at all. The first time I shoot it after he done the job my rear sight walked it's way out at the range, he fixed it and I think I didn't get the chance to test it out, can't remember. Finally got a chance to shoot it yesterday and again to my surprise it move a few mm to the left. I am thinking of finding a different gunsmith to see if this can be fixed and not have to worry about it or let RIA step in and take care of it.

I'm so pissed I just want to get rid of the whole slide and buy a new one all together.

If the set screw is missing replace it. Take a center punch and make several punch marks on the bottom of the sight (this assumes the sight is steel) - this will create small craters and the raised edges will improve the fit in the dovetail. When you reinstall, use blue Loc-Tite liberally in the dovetail. Adjust sight to correct position, use a drop of blue Loc-Tite on the set screw and tighten same. Allow Loc-Tite to cure.

 

Adios,
