RIA sight tenons

[Jammer Six]

Does anybody know what size tenon RIA (Armscor) uses for the front sight on their milspecs?

Does anyone know what the dovetail specs for the rear sight are?

I have an RIA milspec in .38 super, and if I'm going to get involved with it, the sights HAVE to change-- I can't even see the front sight, let alone see it quickly.

Since .38s have no business being anything but toys, I suppose a toy sight would work. So I'm considering adjustable target sights for the first time in my life.

I suppose I should officially renounce that "never, ever" thing about toy guns and toy sights, but that would be like admitting a mistake.

Jammer I havent measure one myself but I believe the RIA use a narrow tennon front sight.

[Jammer Six]

That's what it looks like to me-- I jerked it off last night, and the wide tenon Millet I bought don't go in there too good... :(

I had a late night awakening, though, and I refused to indulge in adjustable sights. I put a "Retro" rear sight on it, and I have an MGW front sight with a narrow tenon coming. :)

Is RIA for Rock Island Arsenal?

[AdamN]

Yea; Armscorp bought the naming rights or something like that

[Jammer Six]

Yeah, Armscor.

I like the weapon, but the sights got to change.

I might need an RIA in .45.

I got a RIA back in da day. ~4 years. Love it. 2000+ rounds. Flawless.

Them lil ol bitty sights suck eggs for real, fer an ol man.

[AdamN]

Yea the little sights are terrible. Do like Jammer and replace them, pretty straight forward, if you want it done send me the slide.

[jawjaboy]

The second pic are available with White dots or plain black.

Either is a huge improvement over the stock ones.
