Odd flip staking.

This was bought as a restoration with a flip in place, which I took off. Underneath was flip staking which appears Parked over so, it must've been the original staking. Can you imagine an inspector approving this?

Additionally as a warning to people knocking off adjustable sights, note the rear staking and how thin it has made the dove tail at the point. It's surprising that the dove tail corner didn't break off when the adjustable was removed by the previous owner. If you see something like this, just leave the adjustable on it. It's not a resto candidate unless you're welding up the holes. Craters, even under the flip don't fool people.
