I just ordered novak fiber optic sights for my para. From what I can get from the website (old and hard to navigate by the way) It's gonna require some milling to get the rear sight on. Anyone know of a good smithy who has experience with installing sights on a 1911?

These guys are simply awesome .45 mechanics. I had Jodi freshen up a LW Commander for me with some Novaks, checkering, mag well and a trigger job. I am lucky, old and rich enough to have had work done by some of the best pistolsmiths there are. Jodi and John are right up there with the big names, Novak, Heine, blah blah blah. All of this within driving distance for us! They have a nice shop with some cool hardware on display and for sale. Go in and talk with them, they are "Gun People" and very nice folks. Tell them that Jerry Honeycutt sent you, MAYBE they wont throw you out
