Indeed we can P1. I once had contact information for a fellow who made custom lens for the shooting community for a multitude of useful purposes outside of glasses. His speciality was sights and sighting corrections but unfortunately I have since lost it in a laptop crash and it wasn't really that expensive.

Would this be what you are thinking about?          (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

Actually no, that's not what I am making but might be something i could use in the future. I am making an adapter to use the Gehmann peep I have on my Cody Ballard and the thread on the peep is an oddball metric. 

jlouis, no problem with the tap size because I think the issue may be related to my choice of a very tight clearance as the fit is about 74% or tighter with the drill I used. I will go up one and see how that works. No matter I can work with it and it will be so much easier to make now and will be a great help. 

Thanks, ratseye

I couldn't wait so I made the adapter as quick as I could. Here is the result. I can easily see the front sight clearly now and I can't wait to try it out. Need a break in the weather. Thanks to all again. ratseye

That's the fellow Kurt but I had a different use in mind at the time.

With the Gehman sight, it looks like the sight would not fold down far enough for breech seating with the Ballard, CPA, etc. ?

It holds it up pretty high but loading a cartridge isn't a problem. I have not tried breech seating yet so I don't have experience with the equipment or method to comment. The value for me is being able to see the front sight and target much better. Aesthetically, it doesn't fit at all but I'll suffer with that. Thanks, ratseye

Ratseye,
Indeed that setup may be good so that you can see the front sight.
But, that "tunnel" you must look thru must be exactly 
lined up with the front sight AT YOUR point of aim, distance
(with the tang sight at just the right angle) or you will possibly be looking thru a distorted OVAL tunnel view.
Been there done that....

beltfed, 

You are correct about the "tunnel" and it will cause issues with the windage cranked over. The one shown is the first attempt and I saw what you are talking about so I made another with the absolute minimum dimensions for length and maximum hole size. The bigger hole brightened things up a bit too. I am a little concerned about strength now but have a good radius at the joint so I think it will hold. It is a trade off at best. Look through an oval or not see at all. 

Has been raining and cold and now warm and raining so there will be no testing for a couple of days. 

Merry Christmas to all! 

Thanks, ratseye
