What thread are peep sight apertures?

Post by El Chivo »

Could anyone confirm the thread of Lyman and Williams peep sight apertures? I may order some taps next time around.

There are at least 2 different ones.
Check your Brownells catalog under Merit disk offerings.

don't know how I did it, but I ended up with very different tang sights on two different rifles that both have 10-32 thread and can share a Hadley Cup

There seem to be two differant sizes, 10 x 32 and 7/32 x 40. Good luck finding the second. You can try here: http://www.victornet.com/cgi-bin/victor ... ,1170,1171

Good folks and they may be able to help.

There's actually three sizes, but Lyman and Williams use 7/32-40. The Taurus tang sight uses a different thread and I had to tap it to fit the various Lyman and Williams(7/32-40) sized Merit apertures that I own.
