“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Cool. Plus the reviewer is just the kind of guy I'd like to have for a next door neighbor.

The sights must be self-centering, Josh?

I didn't see him make one adjustment!
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

Hello,

I try to send them with the elevation pretty close on, the post being about 0.325" high.

Other than that, I do not know if he made adjustments off-camera.

My supply guy is good about sending me quality sights to modify, and when I modify sights supplied to me by customers they're usually marked for their particular rifles.

Regards,

Josh

I sure do want to get at least a pair of these but even at Josh's fair price it has to wait a bit longer

He sent me a link as well to one of his little "sighting in my mosin" videos' where he holds up one of my front sight adjusting tools waaaaay at the end of the thing, doesn't mention my name, just that he "bought it off of ebay"... gave me a good chuckle over it!

I got my Smith sight Monday. Nice. Don't have it on my gun yet, cause I don't have one of those sight tools. Will take mine to a gunsmith and have it installed and bore sighted. Dang Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm followed me home, drained my 'gun money' for a bit. :D

I like the sight, I think it will be an excellent addition to my Mosin. Fiber optics, on a gun made in 1930, I love odd combinations like that.
