    Adding an APERTURE to your glasses so you can SEE the sights!

    I also use the eyepal, you buy a set, one for pistol and one for rifle, I shoot iron sights on my swede M96 and it works wonders at 100 yds, makes me able to sharply see sights and target

    paper cartridges

    saw the sticky post so I thought about how I will do it using newspaper, see pics, found a bolt that fits my bore, .625, after making it, let set over night for glue to dry, load with 1 oz #8, fold over top and glue, will cut the top off before ramming down
