Hey Bruce I can't find my reciet but it's a EGW,EGE something like that. Here's some pictures might help. I like it. Works fine. Looks ok and serves my purpose.
Looks good Guy. When I bought my Ronin, it wasn't available for the plate and red dot, so I had an adapter put in the rear sight dovetail and mounted one. Not as close to the slide as yours but works. Springfield did well on their upgrade. Good shooting also.
