Target Rifle Rear Sight
Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2021 11:44 am
I've decided that I want to have a go at Full Bore TR after reasonable success with a Small Bore, so a Month or two ago I had a Barnard P based barrelled action built with the plan to build my own adaptor plate to fit into my Grunig and Elmiger stock.
Whilst I was waiting for it to arrive I started trying to get sights sorted out. Well there in the mission starts, foresights not much problem, but rear sights are like rocking horse poop, the only ones i could find still being made were Centra LR, but only a couple of sources in UK and all out of stock, plus I'm not overly impressed with them as all held together with little grub screws.
However whilst researching rear sights I found some great pictures of a Warner sight for sale and managed to garner nearly all dimensions i need to make my own.
So that is what i did, for threads i sourced a couple of cheap Chinese metric micrometers, not much good for measuring stuff but perfect for my needs as I robbed the Spindle and nuts it as gives 2 MOA per turn and 8 clicks on the knobs gives 1/4 MOA resolution, still got some work to do to finish them of and get them anodised black and graduations marked, but first test fit looks real good.
