5 Mues sights.

[JerryB08]

I don't know how to post pictures. Thanks for all the valuable information. I have mine mounted on a No1 Mk3 Lithgow and it does stay square. It starts to lean back. Are they supposed to have a mounting bracket? I can't find one. If they do.

They were originally designed to mount directly to the rifle, Mues did not produce a bracket until 1928 (pat.13568/28) but did manufacture long windarms for those that used brackets allready on the market.
The short windarm is the most common, as he had a monopoly in the early years, although there were better sights out there, his were being used by the likes of Percy Pavey which created a huge boost for him.
If your sight is correctly locked in it should not move without a reasonable push to fold it forward, if a short windarm type, the centre of the sight should be in line with the barrel, if it is a long windarm, you will need to undo the zero plate and relocate it to the hole close to the vertical post.

I discovered the issue. I don't have a correct "dog bone". mine is just a rectangle of slightly bent steel. Trying to find one now.

Hello! I have a question about a diopter MUES CLIMAX. Does anyone know what is the semi-circular hole in the base of the peep? post a picture for better understanding. On the right a BSA9c, on the left a Climax. Thanks to all and forgive the Google Translate

You have an early Climax, the cutout allows the sight location position to be seen on the early versions of Mues's sight mount patented 107423 of 1938.
There were several different styles covered in this patent application, the last being a dovetail, requiring a different leg than the one you portray.

Thank you for the valuable information, here a picture of the diopter. There is only written the name "MUES", no model or patent number.

The patent number I gave you is for the mounting bracket, the patent for your sight is 101181/36.
Mues designed this fixed arm sight shortley after losing a patents conflict court case against William Dunn, designer of the Central Sights and various tools, brackets and shooting accessories sold under the TradeMark CENTRAL.

I try with a simple question ... Is there a history list of models produced by MUES?

[muffett.2008]

Only the patent dates and Pamphlets from his business.
Although there were several prototypes,
His first patent was for a magazine modification in 1907, then a windage/elevation adjustable ladder sight in 1908.
Then his first folder sight in 1910, which went thru several modifications up until 1935, subsequently known as the old light model, it became the Improved old model, with variations to the windarm and mounting base.
The Mues Special was developed in 1930, also a folder.
The first fixed arm sight was produced in 1936, subsequently called The Climax and was superseded by The Kings model which covered the period 1938/41, this was the Mues sight subject to Wartime Impressment, along with William Dunns Central Bisley model.
