Lentz Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have a Smith and Wesson E series 1911 that has fixed sights with a Novak cut in the slide. I would like to put adjustable bo-mar style rear sights on the gun. So my question is can i have my slide milled so i can put the Bo-mar style sights on ( is there enough metal there)? If this is possible does anyone have a recommendationsrecommendations for Bo-mar style rear sights. Is there someone i can send the slide to for it to be cut that has a reasonable time frame?

The_Vigilante Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 You might check with Dawson Precision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASE772 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 What The_Vigilante said. Dawson has an adjustable sight for the Novak cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2 Nope, the Novak dovetail cut is larger than the Bomar cut and it would have to be welded up to be able to recut for standard Bomar cut. There was a board member here who was making a base to fit the Novak dovetail and use the Bomar type assembly minus the base, but the slide would still need some machining. I don't remember who the member was but you might be able to do a search and find the thread, or someone else may chime in with his name. I could not find a Bomar type rear sight on Dawson's site that would fit a Novak dovetail cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASE772 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) This https://www.dawsonpr...0001-1149712617 is the one I was thinking of. Edited January 4, 2013 by BASE772 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlockCanMan Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Canon Creek is one of the vendors in our Forum http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showforum=92 and he makes an adapter that will fit into the Novak sight cut and allow a Bomar sight to fit onto the gun. I tried a brief search for a picture of one, but couldn't find it. Send him an email and I am sure he can help. As Base772 stated that Dawson Precision also makes a good adjustable sight that fits into that sight cut. I have a brand new one that I never used.

GlockCanMan Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) I finally found the page that shows a picture of the adapter that fits the Novak sight cut http://www.brianenos...ut#entry1598162 It is half way down the page.

twister Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 You can contact Rich at Canyon Creek for the work you want. I sent the slide from my Valor and he machines a base for adjustable sight. Very nice work,quick turn around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rckymtnshooter Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I just recently had Rich with Canyon Creek install his Novak to Bomar sight conversion on an STI Tactical slide. I'm very happy with the quality of the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
