A Minimum Low-Mount/Bolt Peep For A Rossi M92
« on: June 11, 2009, 03:27:17 PM »
For those Rossi M92's with the bolt top safety, the safety hole/recess can be used to house an elevation-adjustable peep sight.

You keep doing cool things with your 92. For those of us without a machine shop, is there a place you'd recommend to buy the parts for such a rig? I'd gladly buy a drop-in set up - tapped plug for a standard thread peep sight for example, if someone were making them.

[You keep doing cool things with your 92. For those of us without a machine shop]

Thank you, for the kind words.

You've also hit upon the exact reason for my posts like this one - as I am not a machinist, nor have a machine shop.
I only have machines that almost any homeowner or renter would have.
The most complicated machines I use are a 3/8" variable-speed hand drill, and a bench-type grinding wheel.

I try to show what can be done by any one of us, with a little thought and some simple tools - like files, drills, and epoxy.

The "parts", are transformations of other parts and/or things, within which I have visualized the part I need/want - if I can just grind/bend/alter it in some way.

It's not the worst thing in the world, to try to "make" something, then have it come out not quite right.
Just toss the bad job, and either do it over another way, or can the idea as undoable.
It's how I "learned".

Steve Young of www.stevesgunz.com is making a bolt mounted peep sight for the safety equipped Rossi's in two different versions.

He doesn't have them on the website yet, but you can see some pics at:
