Has anyone ever used one of these? http://mod94scoperail.com/index.html Do they hold zero? Seems VERY familiar to something I made 3 1/2 years ago.
Which is fine if he used my idea, he might have had it first for all I know, but I didn't have the means or desire to pursue something like that. Just wondering how well it works, if anyone here has used it?
Yep......I have one on a model 53 Winchester. It was made for a model 94 carbine but a little filing and she hooked right up to the 53. Hold zero very well after several hundred rounds but...the 25-20 don't have much recoil. ----6
Handi...yours looks very nice and good thinking! Remember, the first time you build anything always leaves room for improvement. I'll get some pics later on today.----6
I have one also. Holds zero well. I did have a problem th my sight slot being in a different area than the one he was using as a design prototype. He was very accommodating sent it back and He redrilled it all went well. Actually want another one....hmmm Christmas is coming Mrs. Fordwannabe.

Not sure why it's worthless. I think the one you are thinking of (XS Sights), required the D&T of the front of the receiver. This, and mine required neither, just some special replacement screws.

6 those are perfect, thank you. I see he used a substantially larger dovetail piece than I made. I have some work to do. Mine is made from steel, mild steel I believe, but I will try to heat treat it and see if I can get some temper. Unfortunately my ocy/acetelene is about empty.

I've been wondering the same thing. I think it's pretty darned slick and if it keeps some guy from permanently altering a vintage rifle then all the better.

I meant my post was worthless, not the thread. It gave very little useful info...
