Armstrong Peep Sight origin?
#355110 - 13/07/21 04:32 PM

I managed to get my hands on a beautiful Armstrong Dual-Range peep sight in terrific condition. Can anyone tell me where it was made? I want to say it was made in England but I have no evidence to prove that. There's no marking on the sight with the exception of the name "Armstrong". I've done numerous searches every which way I can think of and come up empty.

Any chance of a picture Nutsy???
Don't be surprised if Lancaster or Kuduae chime in about this one!
Fingers crossed for you mate, sounds like a pretty piece of gear, what does it fit onto?

They are shown in the "Old Gunsights" book but doesn't say where they were made. Over the years I have had a couple of them and in fact I still may have one. Always liked how they came with the little Allen wrench stored right on the sight. Much more cool then a Lyman 48 but not worth as much as the Lyman's

The sight I still have is a regular single range sight. However the Dual range sight I had was put on a rifle I built. It was a Mark X Mauser in 416 Rigby with Blackburn bottom metal. Here are a couple pics of the rifle:
