dskinsler83 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Do you cut it like a standard bomar or like a bomar for a series 80 1911? Standard would be 1" from breach face and series 80 would be 1.1" from breach face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinj308 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) I followed your lead and put a Bomar on my G35. I know we were both searching around for dimensions so I drew this from what I did. Factory Glock slide and a Dawson Precison sight. Hopefully help the next guy looking for info. This is what those dimensions look like, rear blade just at the back of the slide. Kevin ETA I made a basic 3d model as well if anybody wants it just pm. g35 bomar.pdf Edited September 19, 2014 by kevinj308 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art mc Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Nice work and a big thanks for the dimensions layout. art mc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam B Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) I have had a few bomars done but now opt to use a LPA rear sight, you don't have to cut the rear section so deep if you do Edited September 22, 2014 by Adam B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carter Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 It's been awhile but this was my first attempt at a Glock BoMar. I used a flat bottom BoMar on a few early installations, not sure if there is any sight comparable now. It was a pretty clean deal and worked well and stayed put. If anyone is interested I'll see if I can find the dimensions but it's pretty simple. If you have a mill you can make a flat bottom for your sight and attach it with a couple of machine screws to the slide. On the last pic I hadn't completed the clearance cut for the blade to move for windage adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dskinsler83 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Interested to know more here. That is the same type install as canyon creek or springer I can't remember which Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spraynpray Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Canyon creek cuts a notch in the slide for the dovetail to drop into and it is locked in with set screws from the rear that are hidden by the sight blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped it get lower on the slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinj308 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 My wife always asks me what I'm doing in the garage, so I made this for fun. Maybe help somebody understand the process better. This was my second Bomar insall, first on a 1911. Wow there's a lot to learn everytime. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last pic I hadn't completed the clearance cut for the blade to move for windage adjustment. I want to do an install like this on a 17L slide, but how do you cut a pocket with square corners? Wilson Combat makes an adjustable sight with a rectangular recoil lug on the bottom. IIRC, a shallow 3/8" slot is all that's required. Looks nice on a 1911 slide, but the Glock slides don't have the round profile on top, so it would look a bit odd screwed onto a large milled flat.

dskinsler83 Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 Unless you have a CNC machine and small cutters or are REALLY good with a manual machine and small cutters to peck out the corners good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although square corners can be cut with a rotary broach, I have to imagine that this is prohibitively expensive. The company that sells them doesn't have prices listed. I'm batting around a few ideas. I might need to try a couple things on an aluminum mock slide before I attempt to cut a functional steel slide. I think I can mill the corners with a 3/16" end mill, and hide the overcut corners with a bezel on a custom sight base, and have it not look like trash. Or maybe I'll just give up on trying to be fancy, and do it the traditional way with a standard BCMS sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
