Stonebridge Gunworks mills your Dan Wesson 1911 slide to accept Dan Wesson's factory optic plate system — an interlocking design that is far stronger than plates held to the slide by screws alone.
This is a full-service install: we center your co-witness sights, fit the factory plate, and mount your red dot so your slide comes back ready to run.
The factory plate keys into the slide instead of relying on screws alone, for a far more secure, repeatable optic mount.
We center and install your co-witness sights, fit the factory plate, and mount your optic to the system.
These slides are stainless. The machined pocket sits under the plate and is fully concealed once installed, so the cut area is left as-machined and is not visible in the finished install.
This is a full service — you supply the parts, we handle the machining and install:
Please note: You must acquire the Dan Wesson factory optic plate and send it in with your slide. We install and mount to the plate you provide — we do not supply the plate.
The SRO / RMR HD Type 3 will mount forward of the breech face. We recommend the Holosun 507 Comp — or any optic without an overbite — with this system.
Pair your milling with a red dot built for this plate system. Add one at checkout, or shop the optic on its own:
What to send: your slide only — no barrel or recoil assembly.
After placing your order, include your order number, pack the slide securely, and ship it to us. We uninstall and reinstall your slide's internal parts and iron sights as part of the service. If your factory sights have to be removed for the optic cut option you chose, they'll be returned to you with the slide.
