I have a three blade rear express sight that I am going to use on a rifle The blades are blanks and will be needed to be cut. I am told that there is a file shaped for this purpose, I have looked but not found one and I don't know what its proper name is to look it up. I have a 60 degree dove tail file Never rode a bull, but have shot some. NRA life member NRA LEO firearms instructor (retired) NRA Golden Eagles member | ||

I use a 60-degree file, nothing special but not a dovetail file as the ones I have only cut on one surface. John Farner If you haven't, please join the NRA! | |||

Yes mine cuts one side only, I had read somewhere that is now relegated to the dark regions of the brain that the file was a designed so that cut both sides of the "V" at the same time. more shallow that a 60 degree Never rode a bull, but have shot some.

The name of the file you are looking for is a Cantsaw file. Flat on one side, and the other side has two 30 degree flats. Makes a real nice vee for the open sight blades. JW | |||

I bought mine at a local shop that sells chainsaws and other weekender woodsman stuff. They're used for sharpening buck saws and other large tooth lumber saws. I think I used it once, maybe twice, but it worked nice for my intended purpose of sight leaf profiling on M/L rifles. Never sharpened a saw with it. | |||

I found a cantsaw file for about $11 on Ebay several years ago. Quite sharp as well. Good buy. You might look there. | |||
