I have installed three sets of the Kings 104's. It's pretty straight forward. You should have the front sight staking tool, a good solid vise and a brass punch and hammer. Make sure to drive the rear sight the correct direction. On the front sight you'll need the "dreaded dremel" and an 1/8th in ball to cut a slight dish into the bottom of the slide to better hold the new sight. I use red Loctite to put the front sight on with and haven't had one shoot loose yet. Check out Blindhogg.com for some really good information on this procedure. Oh yeah, make sure you order the correct front sight tennon. For the Springfield armory Mil-Spec it should be the meduim tennon. Good luck, Greg
