ExStreetWalker Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I've got a Springfield Operator with the full length rail. It has a fixed rear sight. It's a Heinie sight. I think it's a Novak cut. I'm wanting to swap to an adjustable rear sight. Does anyone know for sure what cut they use? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammer1911 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Dawson makes sights for SA cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tophernj Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Most sights will take a little fitting by filing/sanding/stoning the bottom of the sight. Go slowly and you’ll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood501 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thought this would help. I bought the Springfield Elite Operator in 10mm and replaced the rear sight with this:Manufacturers part # PI5339 1911 ADJ REAR SIGHT NOVAK from Brownells. Around $40. Nice sight, fit perfectly.Cheers!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tylerradke Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I just replaced my trijicon night sights on my SA operator with a Dawson adjustable. It is a Novak cut. This is the rear I bought. https://dawsonprecision.com/024-022/. Works well. Also replaced the front with Dawson fiber optic front. Also Novak cut.

Charlestiller Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 The SA cut from Dawson work well on the operator pistols. I’ve got some on one of mine right now. No issues.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troupe Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Bunker Hill advertises a sight base or a complete sight that has to be milled for a Bo-Mar style sight if that is what you are looking for. It uses the Novak base cut. It opens up more options for the Novak cut. I plan on trying it myself down the road. For me, I don't like the looks of the Novak style adjustable sights. I prefer the looks of the true target sight (Bo-Mar) over the adjustable fixed look styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
