kgunz11 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 One of my pistols has a Heine rear sight and I want to replace it with an adjustable sight, but Heine doesn't make one. Can my slide be cut to accept the STI adjustable rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIIID Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Anyone? The slide will have to be welded up to accept an adjustable bo-mar style site. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blkbrd Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Take a look at the Wilson adjustable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radical Precision Designs Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I am not 100% sure which specific Heinie cut/sight you have on your Kimber ... But I have re-milled a few Kimber 1911's to accept the Bo-Mar LPA style (elevation screw within dovetail) adjustable sights. They are very similar to the regular BMCS style in bottom dimensions but do not require the slide to be drilled and tapped for the elevation screw. It appears that the dovetail size, position and rearward specifications are identical in the Heinie cut in the Kimber. You will need to move the cut forward to accomodate the longer base of the Bo-Mar style, and make a rear cut for the adjustable blade. But there will be no need for welding of the slide. Send your slide to a knowledgeable 'smith with the necessary equipment and savvy. You will get results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
