SIG/GSG 1911 Vortex Venom Sight Mount

thingiverse

Mount for a Vortex Venom red dot sight. Originally designed for a UK-legal GSG 1911 LBP (Long Barrel Pistol), but should work the same for any of the normal models or clones. **Installation Instructions**: - Remove the original rear-sight using a hex key. - Fit the printed insert into the novak fitting the rear-sight was originally in. - Fit the printed mount over the insert, which should rest in the rectangular hole in the base of the mount. - Place sight on-top of the mount, the bumps on the mount should fit into the recesses on the bottom of the sight, and the middle holes should line up with the ones in the sight base. - Screw 2 M3 screws (about 10mm seems the best length) through the middle holes in the sight and into the mount insert until tight. As you are screwing directly into the printed insert, they are more or less one-use. My intention is to place some threaded inserts into it so it can be re-used. To be continued ... ** UPDATE 01/11/2017 ** Added a slimmed down version with a slightly better fit to the rear of the slide. I've also added one with a charging handle built in. ** UPDATE 02/11/2017 ** Added further mounts/inserts that have been sized so you can insert brass M3 threaded inserts, to make the sight insert re-usable. The ones I'm using are: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262993790868
