I am in Avon but am willing to drive some.
Thanks

Not scared but these are Trijicon. The heat would be ok?

C'mon Allen you can do it! IIRC the stake on tool looks a bit like a tuning fork, sorta. Could you make one in the shop?

Send me your address in a PM. I'll loan it out. Will send in a flat rate box. Cheaper than gas.

I've got one and with a special insert I made for trijicon front sights you can use.

Sorry for a slow reply I was away from the comp most of the day.
Thank you for the offer, I already accepted BGDaves offer. Someday I hope to get together and checkout what you are doing on 1911's. The pics you have posted are very nice
