What are the mandatory upgrades on a springfield milspec (1911)?

Sights and beavertail grip safety.

Dont you have to get the front sight channel milled out?

[Spartan301]

Beavertail grip safety, or a Commander style hammer.

No matter how careful I am, my Series'70 with the spur hammer always gets me!

Yes, the front will need to be milled and there are work arounds for the rear. Better off just getting a Loaded unless you intend to go full custom or leave it as is.

A 10-8 blacked out rear sight and a tritium or fiber optic front sight would be my first choice

Same set up I have on my G17 and similar to what I'll be doing to my Baer. Sending my slide off to Dawson.

All I did with mine is replaced the trigger with a longer one, replaced the mainspring housing/ils. That's it.

But I like the classic 1911A1 look.

Sell it and buy one with replaceable sights and a BTGS. You'll same a bunch of money (after sights and BTGS, you'll have to refinish the gun).

Im just looking for staked front sights now and gi cut blacked out rear

[67Cuda]

Adjustable rear sight and grips.

Lots of ammo! They are great guns as they are for what they are.

Get rid of the ILS by replacing the parts in the MSH with standard 1911 parts - $9

Lower and flare the ejection port too. Springfield's custom shop will do it for free if they are performing other work, like installing better sights.
