Re: Series 70 Colt Gold Cup - Front sight broken off?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll just have a smith replace it with with as close a match as the existing one.

I wouldn't mind doing the custom work, but since its an heirloom of sorts, I'll get it back as it was.

Thanks again for the help.

Series 70 Colt Gold Cup - Front sight broken off?

I was shooting at Shiloh tonight (great range btw) and the front sight flew over my right shoulder as the weapon was cycling.

It looks as if it fractured right off. Is this an easy fix or is it a tricky issue? I can post pics in a day or two. There is no dovetail to just slide it out, it appears as though the front sight is embedded into the slide somehow.

This is my favorite handgun as it was tricked out and passed down to me by my dad. I'd like to get it back up and running soon.

Thanks for the help fellas.
