Maybe this sight will uplift the Mosin team's performance on the next match?

Forthcoming. These are teasers from the workbench. I'm waiting for the rest of the stuff to get here, then I'll make the first one.

Why make from scratch when it exists?

I make most of the stuff on my front sights from scratch. If it already existed, I could be that much faster!

I would've carried the innovation a step further by drilling & tapping the hole for some existing target apertures.. like Lyman or Marbles.

Hello,

That's in the future works. Folks have been wanting a rear sight for about a year, so I took that time to study the whys and wherefores about this type of sight.

Most don't work, and for good reason. That's why the slack adjustment is in there. It makes this work.

Please excuse the surroundings and the picture quality. I did this at home, not the shop, in response to some concerns that the cocking piece will move on the x and y axis and not only the z axis. The first part demonstrates that I have a standard sear, while the second and third parts give different views of the striker knob dropping.

You will see that the cocking piece only travels in the direction it's supposed to.

Hello,

I hope to be well enough this weekend to get out and shoot it for "postable" targets. I already have two orders.

I guess 60-70 years ago this was considered quite the modification.

Hello,

I'm currently in the office/workshop. Orwell is on internet radio, and I'm filling sight orders.

I've also prototyped an interchangeable aperture rear peep. The first size is 3/32", which is my favorite size peep sight.

Pictures to follow later tonight or sometime tomorrow.

Regards,

Josh

The existing ghost ring is about 0.125". This aperture shown is 0.094.

I don't really like the 0.094" as it just falls in between ghost ring and not-ghost-ring, and if I go to production, the standard aperture size will be about 0.063 or so to start with, anyway.

I still like the ghost ring as it holds the front sight hood centered perfectly, but I understand those who desire the smaller aperture and will be trying it out myself shortly, before I start making it.

Also included is a slightly improved lockup to return the cocking piece to perfect zero every time.

I'm not sure it's needed, but it's there as a redundancy.

I'm also trying to watch the complexity as complexity = weight = slower lock time, which we don't want.
