Another option is using a Merit adjustable iris disc. Works like a camera lens… Self serving post… I have the 98 eye discs with various size openings, the Merit discs and other eye discs as well. I also have complete original 98A and a 98C sights available plus parts for the 98 bolt peep sights. I’m working with Turnbull’s to have the round slotted windage nut fabricated. Cheers. Ben

Ben, is there anything you don’t have? Wood from the Cross? Dirt from the Grave?
I’m considering a Merit adjustable iris disk for my 52 Sporting’s Lyman 48F. Do they come in different ocular ranges and disk diameters? I would need one with an attachment screw in the standard 7/32″ x 40tpi size. And in a range more suited to hunting than target competition.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill… there are different diameters. Will you be attending the Durant, Ok show in a couple weeks? I will and can bring some along… 🙂 As far a having a piece of the cross, I don’t, but I know a guy…..

You and Abdul. I figured. I’d like to attend the Durant show. Let me check with the War Department for clearance and I will let you know in the next 24.
Are you talking about the one at the Choctaw Casino et al. on Feb 27 through March 1?

yes… the “New Frontier” show. I haven’t done it before, but thought I’d give it a try since Tulsa & Reno are on the same weekend this spring. I have four tables at Reno and Tulsa is a “fly & buy” show for me… it’s alot more fun, but Reno helps to get rid of stuff. Just know that Abdul’s piece of the cross is very small… mine is big…I bought it from a priest that was there… 🙂
ps… I can send you a couple and let you choose if you like…

Ben, I’ve got a conflict that will keep me from the Durant show.
Instead, i’m going to find my Old Gunsights book – it is in one of 25 bankers boxes where my library is stored until I get the other 4 glass fronted bookcases assembled — in the next couple of days.
I will study up on the Merit line to see which one I need. Then I can just let you know and we can get it done.
Thanks,
Bill
PS the only time I visited the Choctaw facility was to attend a Vince Gill concert several years ago. The event center was smoke free but we made the mistake of having dinner in the casino, where smoking was allowed. I’m a reformed 2 -pack a day addict, quit since 1995, so I’m hardly preachy on the subject. But the atmosphere there made me very sick. My poor wife, a lifelong non-smoker, turned green. We grabbed slices of pizza and fled to fresh air. The hotel may be just fine. But the entire complex is in the middle of nowhere, so McDonalds is not an option.

Actually there are a few recently added “dining” options near the Durant casino. There is no smoking in the building where the show is held, it is separate from the casino. I’m planning on attending at least one day so if I can help with logistics I’m available. Scott puts on a good show and I like the smaller shows. Probably more useful doing that than assembling book cases, my latest project is somewhat south of “rustic” and approaching “redneck”.

I’m glad to hear there are options. The time we were there, we stayed South of the Red River at a Hampton Inn, which had no restaurant.
