Changing the front sight on my S/A Range Officer

[Big Smoke]

I used a 1/16 drill bit to punch out the pin, then the sight came out with little exertion. I had to do a little fitting on the new sight, but I don't think it's the right one. Although the package said it was for a Springer, I don't think it's for a 1911. Looks to be for the XDm. But it fits for now, and until I get the right one, it's going to stay. It works great.
I broke the nylon punch on it, that I bought especially for the project. So I had to resort to brass, and as you know, brass leaves marks. After some scrubbing, I've got most of the brass marks out of it. I'll get the rest out this weekend, after I take it to the range and clean it.
