Quote:Quote:Quote: This should be the final post for the .25-35. I had started making a peep sight base some years ago that fitted into the cleaning rod hole at the back of the action. I wanted something that could be easily removed instead of the fold-down BSA which invariably left a mark on the top of the pistol grip. I got as far as making a base but could not quite figure out how to make an aperture stem on a windage adjustable platform. I serendipitously ran into a Lyman 30 1/2 sight and immediately saw the possibility. I discussed the idea with Morris and he made a base that had a dovetail cut in the rear. The original Lyman base was discarded and the aperture stem was slide into the base and secured. To index the base vertically Morris EDM'd a shallow inverted V into the top of the cleaning rod hole. A corresponding V is on the upper surface of the part of the base that inserts into the action hole. Finally a vertical thumb screw in the base locks the sight in place when it is screwed full down and engages a shallow depression in the top of the action tang. These photos show the sight on Morris' project that was being built in parallel to mine. His has two rimfire barrels and there is a sight for each of the barrels. ![]() ![]() I appreciate all of the positive feedback on these projects and hope these postings inspire someone to start or finish a languishing project. |
