I am having fun trying something I have not done before.
I am installing night sights on my Para Ordinance 16.40
The rear sights fit right in the existing dovetail but this model has a funky front sight dovetail. real small. I could not find the correct ones aftermarket even emailed para with no response.
So I bought a para set that fit their .45 pistol and today am getting ready to redovetail the slide.
After taking my time setting up on mill I am opening up the gap with a straight bit to a couple thounsanths under the narrow part of the new sight.
Done that, unforunatly my Dovtail bit won't be here until Monday from Midway.
The I can finish the cut.
I plan on building my own sight push tool to do the final install.
(40calpunisher did trigger job on this too. I will be better next steel shoot )
