Don't be messin wit my Peeps..

Dug these up out of the pile a parts:

Custom made (over 20 years ago) for Talley style rings. it was spring loaded. No adjustment.

These were for/from FN. Interesting height adjustment, turn/click left or right. Windage was accomplished with the front sight or maybe with the slop in the oval screw holes.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

Those very cool especially the first one.

I have never shot a gun with a peep site. Is it hard to do?

OOPS! I stand corrected. The base is indeed welded on. I have horded soo much Mauser stuff in the past 30+ years years I am forgeting where it all came from.

Two questions: 1) What action does this custom Talley base fit? 2) Is it for sale?

My gunsmith owns it. I'll get details. It's probably not for sale.
