I'm thinking of having some rear sights made for a Colt 1911 pistol. I'm looking for a shop that can make a small run (maybe 10 or 20) initially and maybe more in the future. I can provide drawings and dimensions. Any recommendations? Phoenix area would be best but these are small parts so shipping isn't really a problem.
Thanks,

I know that I am just asking for trouble here. Make sure you tell who ever produces them that they are for a gun. The manufacturer of those has to register with the State Department, and pay $600.00 a year for the privilege of being a weapons manufacturer. Crazy world, no? Bert
I don't know where you came up with that info. They would not be a weapons manufacturer. First, making parts other than the receiver does not require a manufacturers license. Second, if they did want to manufacture the receiver then they would require a license from the BATF, not the State Department.

Email me the prints if you would. Blued? Stainless? In the white?

Dave is absolutely correct. These are NOT "firearms"
