Navy Rear Sight Oddity

Johnny Peppers · 06-29-2002, 05:41 PM

I looked at an early '06 Navy with the extra cut, and a 1917 that does not have the cut. There is a noticeable difference in the depth the V cut when comparing the pistols side by side. With just a small machinists square for a scale, the difference appears to be around 1/32 deeper on the sight with the extra cut. I have never read if the sights were actually regulated, or if this is just within manufacturing tolerances.
