Specifically a Springfield Operator. The original front was pinned and contoured and a royal pain to get out. I need a good file to fit the front sight so it goes in without as much trouble so as not to damage the gun. Do not send me to a heaven where there are no dogs.

In my set of swiss needle files is one called a tapered barrette. Only cuts on one side triangle shaped. That is what I would start with. | |||

Is the dovetail the standard shape? Just file the bottom flat of the sight. Don't file the slide at all. This is easy, too - just old the sight to the file - it automatically stays flat. A tiny bit of filing goes a long way. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Standard 60* dovetail fitting a 10-8 Performance front sight. I won’t touch the gun with the file. Do not send me to a heaven where there are no dogs. Step Up or Stand Aside: Support the Troops ! Expectations are premeditated disappointments. | |||

Yep. I've fitted half a dozen front sights using a stone (bottom flat), not a file. Slow and careful. Trial and error. You want a tight friction fit. ______________________ An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing. --Nicholas Murray Butler | |||
