PARKER HALE 5C aperture sights ......

[tbonesmith]

Here's a useful parker hale tip, found out the hard way ... those lovely iris eyepieces that PH made? If you're mad enough to take one apart for cleaning, which can be done with a watchmakers patience, don't disturb the iris leafs from the base they pivot in. Some were made by laying the leaf in place and the pivot created by pushing/breaking a point through the leaf into its pivot hole so that the tiny flanges of metal that would peel back from the point engage the hole walls. If you remove the leafs from the base these tiny flanges disappear, never to be seen again, and hence no longer exist for second assembly.
Oh well, a few more spares in my kit now ...

Just picked up one of these on a sight I bought at the range(on a central), what a beautiful little bit of engineering, with the filter holder too, hey anyone got these parker hale filters?
