Concept/Prototype Rear Mosin Peep -- Thoughts?

Postby Smith Sights on Sat Jul 13, 2013 11:00 am

Hi Folks,

The first concept of this sight was posted on a few boards only. I wanted to see if the concept seemed sound to most folks and was therefore worth pursuing.

Moving on, this is Prototype II:

Very tough construction. It's just a little high and I'll fix that.

Some just want it mounted on the rear sight, no cantilever. I've got a couple ideas in mind for this, too. There won't be nearly as much hand-fitting, either.

Problem with one mounted directly to the rear sight, however, is simply that it defeats a lot of the rear peep sight concept. It will only make aiming easier than but not necessarily more precise than the original leaf rear.

The next iteration will likely have the rear peep lowered and it and the rear screw will change places.

Thoughts?

Thank you,

Josh

Concept is sound, will it be a adjustable sight of some sort or is the sling swivel stud and brass thumbscrew nut what it is going to be? I know it's just a prototype and I am not knockinit, I am just curious

I think a neat mount design would be similar to the Brass stacker scope mount, but a peep. just super durable.
