Re: [Practical_Carbine] MOJO sights (does the list allow pitchers within the post?)

I was once a participant in the gunsmith Forum (wherever THEY are now? ) and the
moderator there (George Stringer) did the work for me

with buying the VZ 24 included it cost me $225.00
 (I couldn't afford a CZ 524 at twice that price)

I don't think he is among the living now

No Cosmo, Jon



The gun ( a 1935 Czech VZ 24)was rebuilt to shoot 7.62 x 39 and was

Duracoated.



The sight pin drifted right out. The strong sight spring made removal and

installation a bugger

Ummm... I removed the original military sight on my Yugo as part

of cleaning



the cosmoline out of the rifle. Likely, that's why you had trouble. cosmo in



the pin channel.



Surplusrifle. com has some nice tips on using c-clamps to clamp against the



spring pressure and pop the pin.



I'm considering a mojosight myself, primarily because I have trouble



flattening down low enough to see properly trhought the rear "v" at anything



less than the 250m notch. However, i can pop steel plates all day at 400m...

I got these sights for my tired eyes that can no longer SEE the tiny Vee on



my Yugo Mauser short rifle



MOJO sights adjustable elevation and exchangeable peeps



http://www.mojosigh ts.com/MicroClic k.html



it took use of Burglar tools ! A pry bar and a MALLET ! What a pain in



the arse! It took two guys a couple hours to de-mount the military



sight and re-mount the mojo. The sight spring leaf was unbelievably



strong



pitchers at these urls



third one shows where the burglar tools were applied with some force!
