I read that the Ruger Blackhawk sights work, but the guy that posted it said he had to Dremel the sights and use bits of tin can pieces to shim it up.  

EWK only has front sights.  Any other source?

Welcome to the forum from PA!!!

If it's a Norwich built 715 they share the same rear sight as their early 1911's that came with an adjustable sight (Elliason type).

There are Millett sights on eBay sometimes. They are my favorite.

The Ruger Blackhawk sight should bolt up and fit without any problem, and it's the lowest cost option available.  There are couple other options out there that are available but they get pricey.  I'll send you a PM.

Welcome to the forum. One just popped up ebay yesterday looks to be in good shape. They want $75 but there is a make offer button. I would try a lower offer like $45 Screenshot-2023-12-16-9.29.11-AM.pngImage Enlarger
