Using the peep sight I made for the Winchester last year which is zeroed at 20m, then no problem but adjusting to a different range is fiddly, so I decided to make a new peep sight but one that can be adjusted quickly and this is the result. The old sight was adjusted by slackening off a lock ring and screwing the base either up or down depending what range you needed and re locking it up again. The new sight is adjusted by slackening off the peep outer ring and sliding it to the range you want and tightening it up again, this method is very fast especialy when I get a scale engraved on the side of the sight, with the new sight a change of pellet to AA Fields and a boost in the output to 750 fps I’m managing 6mm groups at 20m, I call it my fun gun but really it is a serious piece of kit. The original sight The new sight plugged into the old base I have to engrave a scale down the side I still have to polish and blue the sight but I'm to busy playing with it.

It looks way better than one of those side-mount Williams sights. Could you post a picture of the sight base and azimuth adjustment? I'm curious how you engineered them. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2008 2:19 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Slavia wrote: Very nice, Alstone.

The details are somewhere on this site Slavia but I can't find them! Anyway here they are. The base screws on top of the existing action support, lateral adjustment is done by the cross screw which moves the sight base block side to side, the block is kept shaking about by a strong leaf spring underneath, this spring also locks the sight in the up or down position. _________________   Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2008 5:32 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands That's Alegant. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2008 10:38 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Here are Al's posts from last year on his peep sight design: http://www.airgunhome.com/agforum/viewtopic.php?t=345 http://www.airgunhome.com/agforum/viewtopic.php?t=443 http://www.airgunhome.com/agforum/viewtopic.php?t=438 -and good deal there Al- the new version looks more "sophisticated" than the prior version, which was great in its own respect. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

I wish I could buy one of those rifles just so I can ask you to make me one of those for a rear sight. _________________ BIG GAP Winchester 94 Sight     Air Gun Home Forum Index » Rifles You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
