1911 Sight Staking Tool
« on: March 04, 2012, 04:48:22 AM »
  1911 Front Sight Staking Tool       
Anyone have a 1911 sight staking tool to lend?
 I'll gladly cover the postage from your 10/20 and return, and quickly.
 I'd like to install My Fusion fiber optic sight Myself.
 
 King's Gun Tool was bought out by American Tool, and apparently they no longer carry that $20 arsenal staking tool.
 Brownell's has a punch type tool for about $50 shipped, but for a one time use item, it's fairly pricey.
 Midway USA has a better c-clamp type tool for $70, which would be worth the cost if I had more than one 1911 sight to change.
 
 Thank You in advance!  8)

Found a local new gunsmith to intstall the front sight for only $20, and he did a very good job of it.
Very pleased with the smith's workmanship, and a link is posted for the type of sight used.

Here's the gun with fiber optic front sight installed.
I can actually see the  sight without reading glasses.  ;D

Nice looking rig.
You may have a little trouble with that speed loader, I'd try a spare magazine if it was me  ;)
