Ron, and all:

Well, I've found no additional info on this sight.

I rather suspect that this one is incompletely assembled, in that the large headed screw was probably supposed to thread further into the left-hand end, (to which the hand wheel is attached), and thus the screw head would act as the outboard bearing.

Careful torque indicates that the screw is not going to release. Thus the only option appears to be to cut off the screw head and then thread it back on to the appropriately shortened screw.

Unless someone has more info, or a better idea, guess that will happen in due course.

Looks like the one in the drawing to me. Are the pims in the bottom visible?

And for dis-assembly, things like that can be boiled in oil...

(anything but cutting)

Charles:

Boiling in oil is a new one to me. And here I'd only thought of it with reference to several of those on my short list...

Worth a try.

But what are "pims"?

Thanks, Barry

[charlie fitton]

'pins'

show us the underside of the brass near the knurled wheel..or all of it...please.

(please because I dont want to be boiled...)

[Barry J. Cox]

Sorry I'm not understanding what you mean by "underside of the brass near the knurled wheel" etc.

Do you mean the underside of the sight, or something else?

Because there are no pins in/on the sight save for a small one holding the knurled wheel to the threaded shaft, and which is some distance from the point where I believe things may not have been fully assembled.

I'm unable to successfully load pics. Will get my son to figure it out again today or tomorrow.

Barry. Here is a close up of where it fits. Does this comply with your Aust version? Ron

Ron and Charlie:

Ron's pic shows the same configuration on the mount as mine.

The two holes are actually threaded for the screws to attach the T shaped square-stock piece which holds the sight in the slot.

Will try to get pics posted shortly.

Happy New Year!
