About:
George Washington ordered the creation of Springfield Armory® in 1777 to store revolutionary ammunition and gun carriages. In 1794 the armory began the manufacture of muskets for a young country.

In 1968, citing budgetary concerns, the U.S. Government closed Springfield Armory®. Now, the walls of Springfield Armory® would house historians, paying homage to the past rather than those with an eye to the future…until 1974, when a passionate family by the name of Reese would rescue not only the name “Springfield Armory®,” but the philosophy that drove it for centuries.

We’ll, I guess I’m not getting a Springfield Ultra Compact after reading some of these comments…..
I have two I have one that came with iron sights and one that came with carry sights. The latter is the one that has stove pipe issues.
The fist one is a dream.

I was considering having a gunsmith cut in a dovetail for a new sight, but decided against that if I can find a stake in replacement with fiber optics.
Thanks for any help, suggestions.
