Rear Sight added

A elevation type of rear sight has been attached. It is crude and needs cleaning up, but at 100ft (or so) it is sighted in. Final shaping will take place as it gets used. The thumb nut stud will be clipped off. The brass base is soldered to the tang, can be removed if needs be. The elevator is held in place with the brass thumb nut. A piece of hexagonal tube was soldered on and sighted in for windage.



















Here is a side view.






And another left side view showing the single calibration scratch.

The right side lifts outward ever so slightly when the thumb nut is tightened. For this one, the brass elevator can be upset and a tiny dovetail could be added to the base.







Off angle front view.
