Tube Sight

[MRW]

Has or does anyone have plans or directions on making a tube sight? I have an idea on how to do one but have never seen one up close to really look it over as far as aperture holes and front posts If anyone has or knows where to find this info please let me know

Closest I can think of is some of the chunk shooters use shaders for the sights.

Please define what you mean by "tube sight".Are you talking about a small diameter tube as the rear sight on a piece as opposed to a peep or receiver sight?

Greetings Rabbit03,


Are you going to give away ALL of the family secrets?

What is next? The family store?

Best regards and good shooting,

I understand your plight, I have often thought it would be neat to see some information on tube sights, they were at one time quite common, the best I can come up with is that they are a simple brass or steel tube, the rear end is the aperature and the front end is the cross hare. This of course is very simplistic, I would love to see other comments and perhaps some pictures of originals, I would like to make one.
