... viewing photos and photos of the interior of the pit ... I amused in the whole this piece :shock:

(in Spanish is "LA MIRA" ... I don´t know its name in English, if someone helps me? :idea:

)

and .... I decided to make my own mini-piece: :lol:

with fine copper wire and cyano ... represent "la mira" of "LA MIRA"

With a sheet of transparent "mica" and dental radiography we obtain crystals that compose it ...

Do ... and assemble the second crystal, in this case the polarized ...

... both in its proper place ...

some real photos ...

my creation ... ... ha ha ha ... is very nice and small !!

... with these trifles, we take a break and come back soon !! :salute:

Thanking a lot your visits to the desk, receive a warm greeting.

Are you talking about the gun sight as a whole or parts of it? That is an outstanding gun sight Sancer.

Good grief! I'd go blind trying to do that. Good stuff.

SANCER · Sep 10, 2014

Thank you very much my friend Geo, then the correct name of the entire piece as a whole is "gun sight" ... I learned something new !!

How is called the round piece to the front of the gun sight ... right through which the target is secured?

In Spanish it's a little funny because the round piece called "MIRA" and the entire piece as a whole is called "LA MIRA"

Thanks again Aviatik and Slam, ha ha ha, I feel that with these mini pieces ... yeah I'm going blind !! 8)

la mira = a gunsight.

If you mean the part indicated by the arrow, I think it's used for manually sighting if the main gun sight loses power. Note that it would have cross hairs, as shown in red.

Here is a web site you might find useful for future projects...?????????
And the full site...funatsu aviatuon instruments museum

Geo

EDIT; Don't worry about the ????? for the first link, I test drove it and it works.

SANCER · Sep 10, 2014

I appreciate the information Wurger and Geo.

I do not included such "cross hair" because the size of my mini-piece ... !! :!:

The web site is very comprehensive and interesting, it would be an excellent reference (and I have saved on my favorite websites) ... for any more it will be very helpful information you share us. :idea:

very grateful

I think I read somewhere that human hair reacts favorably to super glue.

It's true, I've seen human hair used to make antenna cables with CA (cyanoacrylate) have very good finish. :arrow:

After your photos Wurger, now I know that I have no excuse for further detail these gunsights. Thanks for sharing.
