Williams eye cup size?
« on: May 26, 2006, 01:12:03 PM »
OK, I have checked all over today, and can't find the thread size for the eypiece for the Williams receiver sights. Anybody know off hand? I'm guessing 10/32, but would like to know before I start drilling and tapping.

It's bigger and finer than 10x32, perhaps 12x40 or 12x48. A phone call  to Williams would verify it, (800) 530-9028.

I got through to Williams today, be prepared to be on hold for some time....
The thread size on the eyepiece inserts is 7/32-40. I gotta feeling home depot isn't going to have this one!

I'm modifying a pop up military sight with the addition of a target aperture, and need to drill and tape the sight.

Dang, that's an odd ball thread size!!

Good luck finding that one....I wonder if there's a metric equal??? I did googled it and the only hit I got was a UK site!
