I just bought a WE Kimber Warrior in the hopes that I could turn it into a Stainless Kimber TLE/RL (my favorite handgun ever). The finish sucks, which is why I'm taking it off, but the sights are my main problem. Real ramped Kimber sights can be had for ~$50, and I wanted to put a set on my 1911 to get the gun as exact as possible. However, when I compared my gun to a real Kimber, the cuts in the slide for the sights are totally different.
Has anybody ever tried to do this conversion (even on a different gun)? How much custom cutting would be involved in something like this? Do the screw holes for the sights even match up?
