Another rookie question here. I bought a Rock Island 1911 in .38 super as a base gun for "do it myself" projects to become familiar with 1911s. One of my first projects is to replace the sights so I ordered a set of Warren Tactical sights for S&W dovetail and I plan to have a machinist/shooter friend prepare the slide. He can determine how to cut the actual dovetail but I think the top of the slide under the rear of the sight must be cut down also. Does anyone know, or can direct me to, the specifications for machining the slide to accept the sight?
