I recently bought one for my 36 cal Squirrel Rifle, and it made a world of difference. I missed a lot of shots simply because I couldn’t see the small notch in the rear sight. Not an issue now. I am back to stacking them up like I did 40 years ago.

Did you leave you rear sight on the rifle or remove it using only the peep and front sight on barrel, what range
Did you sight in at? I'm purchasing a peep also. Thanks (tin spot).

I used the original rear sight to rough zero the peep and then I removed it. I zero my 36 cal at 25 meters (27yds) with a patched ball. Here in the Ozarks 30 yds is about as far as you’re going to get a shot at a squirrel. I have zeroed at 40 in the past but found that I miss a lot more of the ones at 20 yds, because of shooting over them. My 32 I have zeroed at the same distance, for the same reason.

All October orders have been fulfilled. There is still time to get sighted in before hunting season.

I bought one of these and it fit perfectly on my Kibler Woodsrunner. It’s well made and I think it’s worth every penny.

Only thing I did was take brown off the screw and colored it with Jax Black, and colored brass with Jax Brown to match everything else on my rifle.

Good information. Thanks. I was not familiar with Jax Black.

Jax Black is labeled for brass but Kibler Longrifles also recommends it for all steel surfaces. I tried it and got a beautiful antique black/gray finish.

If you care to, you could knock the contrast down a bit and patinate that lovely rear sight @Frankdkk, so it blends in with your beautiful Jax Black. I have used two solutions on mine. First method, place a couple of table spoons of vinegar and same of salt in a sandwich bag, placing the sight in and keep massaging the item around in your hands - wait for the magic to happen in a couple of minutes and remove at the desired patina. Second method, use a cold blue solution on the end of a cotton q tip and wipe down until the desired effect. When aged a little, these sights blend so they look like they have always been on the gun - makes them look streamlined and unobtrusive, I think. Tom A Hawk makes a lovely product, huh?

Cheers, Pete

For those interested. https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/folding-peep-sight.145105/

 

[Gilg]

Interested. Is there a way to adjust the angle of the sight in the open position so that it is perpendicular to the barrel axis?

 

[Tom A Hawk]

The staff is free to move to the desired position.

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.

Any update on the sight for the hawken tang?

Any update on the sight for the hawken tang?

Yes. I have found that by increasing the length of the sight base, I can get proper alignment on the forward tang screw. The pricing is the same.

Tom,
What diameter is the aperture? How large can that hole be drilled out without endangering the threads? I like to use a ghost ring rear sight if possible.
