Dikar, Spain .45

[ORBushman]

Picked up this little .45 pistol from TOTW to plink with. Looks like a kit build that was never fired but, the idget who built it, put the sights on backwards! Both front/rear! I can live with the front but, the rear one will need turned around as it really bothers me. Anyway, she's a neat little pistol and I'm looking forward to getting her out.

Very nice.

Great colors.

When you get time, remove the rear sight, turn the pistol 180 degrees and put the sight back in.

Yeah, other than the sights, the assembler did a pretty good job otherwise.

I have Dikar also. CVA called them the Colonial pistol. They are fun to shoot.
Mine was a regular refugee when I got it. The nickel was mostly gone from the barrel. No sights or ramrod and the stock was painted black and the trigger guard was broke. I re-did it. Finally I put a tennis racket wrap on the grip. Not P.C. but I like it. I got that idea for wrap from someone here posting it. I made a cheapy holster for it. It is one of my favorite to shoot.

I guess this one has rear sight backwards also.

No yours is on correct. Mine is on backwards.

Wrap that bad boy in leather and you’re golden.

That’s a nice looking pistol.
