    Thanks to Garvin

    Because someone asked and it could be useful to others.

    Peep Sight

    Can I share with you all my effort at a peep sight. Made without drawing from .030" brass sheet and a few very small screws and nuts. It has both elevation and windage adjustments and has been fitted to one of my BSA Standards and it works. The picture has been hosted for me by Garvin[thanks for that] I can make gun sights but some IT is beyond me.
    Picture is here http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u...pskdddag3q.jpg
    I hope the link works. Regards Daveh

    Brilliant Dave. Like yours, and most originals, ours made first then drawn from that!

    I got a fantastic email with all of this attached - and only finally got around to looking through this properly today (been looking after a family member who is not very well)...
    ...and have to say i am truly stunned at the result.

    well done - I've emailed back, but really wanted to add in comments. I've just acquire an 'ex-garvin' .22 BSA Standard with a BSA 21 aperture attached (on its way courtesy of Holts) - so realistically, i'll have a solid starting point to compare to Jules measurements and drawings.

    seriously impressed. and enough info to let me have a go later this year when i get my (shed) workshop finally setup in september.

    Obviously not a replica - but I thinks this more than qualifies for a 'Highly Commended'.
