Pre-B dovetail mount
« on: August 22, 2024, 05:37:48 PM »
I'm thinking about getting a dovetail mount for my Pre-B before I commit to having it milled. Is the rear dovetail the same for a pre-b as for a modern production 75/SP-01/P01? I know some weird small things got changed over the years, mine is an '87 production and it still has the non-dovetail front sight.

Edit: I figured out the terms to search for, it looks like mine has the older .348" dovetail as opposed to the newer .384" dovetail so it won't work with the newer sight dovetails. Leaving it here in case it comes up in someone's search results in the future.

Have you considered getting a new slide and having that one milled, keeping the original intact?
If I had known how much better being retired is than working I would have done it FIRST.
