My bad Brad, see I’m a poet.  I really was only referring to the front sight. But here’s a Colt series 70 rear sight, identical to a Mil-Spec sight.  Except the evil dots.  Colt also has a front sight, to go along with this rear sight, that is also Mil-Spec.  Except for the evil dot.  Which is just really painted on.   I’m sitting in Alabama rain right now, our SER starts in two days. So I don’t have a picture of the front sight. 

so your saying re-profiling or polishing the dots off is a modification?  This is listed under the conventions.  Profiling is not a modification. According to the convention pg 10-11. 
 

ok running up to PCC range. Just bought Treylee two new JP-5’s snd she needs to break in barrels. 
 

Brad are you camping at LR?  We’ll have a soda and talk it over.

There, Cardboard! I fixed it for you. It’s legal now.

Haha.  But is that a modification?  Or just profiling. I know. You just turned the sight around. 🤣

Illegal modification………was it approved paint?

What I've found interesting is despite the folks on the wire are all folks that like firearms, despite that most are conservative, despite that most like the old west time period, despite that most like competition, despite that Wild Bunch has been around as a Main Match competition for 15+ years.  somehow we can find something to disagree about.
