Ray; sounds like you found something wrong with the rifle to make up for the fact that you misstated that the 1911 had night sights.
The trade you agreed to was the icon for a SW1911 with night sights.
Justifiying your error by saying that "its still worth it" is not the way to go.
you both made the trade thnking you were getting something that the other stated.
Unless were talking about a $ deal, what something is "worth" in a gun for gun trade is subjective.
I would have offered to buy the guy a set, give hime an agreeable cash credit, or offer to return the icon and nix the trade.
Rifle bores that sit aroun in a factory or gun shop get dust and oil residue accumulated, and they have been factory fired.
Ray76, I think you should not have posted this. When youre in a hole, quit digging.
David, let me know and i would be happy to get you a set of nite sights at cost.
