This sight is being fabricated on an ongoing basis. All orders have been filled at this time and I have three more sights on the bench. Please advise here if you have any questions, but please PM to place an order rather than add a comment on this post.


This folding tang peep sight should be suitable for use on rifles having a tang length between 2" - 3" . It will not work on long, Hawken type tangs. A long tang version is under development.

The base is slotted to allow for differences in tang screw location and is slightly curved so as to lay flat on your curved tang.

Windage is adjustable by turning the pivot screw.

Elevation is adjustable by moving the aperture up or down on the staff.

The aperture disc has been blackened to reduce sun glare.

You should be able to mount the sight using your existing tang screw, however if your trigger plate is threaded 8-32, I find that a flat headed lock bolt works much better. I can provide a polished and browned lock bolt if desired at additional cost. It will be necessary for you to cut it to the proper length.

I have mounted this sight successfully on three different rifle designs as shown in the photo below.

The sight is $75 plus $5 for shipping. Add $3.00 if you want the lock bolt. Payment by money order is preferred but I can take Paypal if absolutely necessary. If it does not work on your rifle just send it back for refund.

Peep sights effectively sharpen the target image at longer ranges. Please advise any questions.

I received mine very quickly, and the quality is very good. Installation was a piece of cake. I do have a usage question: When I use it do I simply ignore the rear bar sight?

Yes. For close range shots I use the existing barrel sights. I set my peep elevation for 100 yards and simply flip it up for long shots. Although I'm still looking through the buckhorn notch, target definition is much more crisp because of the eye focusing through the aperture.

Interested in a site hoping to try on my Harper Ferry, I live in Canada and have worked out shipping with several American companies and Fed Ex works best.
 
I live in Australia and when our dollar isn't scaling a mountain against the greenback I'll be keen. Happy to pay postage, when I bought my Lee Shaver sight it was only $6-7 freight. So it's not going to be break the bank for me.

I'll check the dimensions but one of these on my fusil might help me get to that 75 yard hunting range I want.
The sight should sharpen target definition very well at 75 yards. i use mine at 100. International First Class mail to "Down Under" should be about $15.00 USD.
