This afternoon I made a 'mock up' of a receiver sight for my PCC out of a piece of hard plastic, fitted tightly in one of rail slots and I drilled it and screwed a Williams receiver sight aperture into it.
This effectively doubles the sight plane distance and gives me a perfect sight picture with a clear and sharp view of the front sight. Also this allows me to use a smaller diameter aperture which aids in sharpening the view.
I will not have an elevation adjustment but I did equate the height of the stock ghost ring on the barrel and with a straightedge transferred it to my rear to determine where to drill the hole but this is mostly to just to test the effectiveness of a rear aperture sight so as long as its on paper that is all I need - and I hope it works out.
If it does I will be searching for a low profile receiver sight for it. There are many styles available but some are obviously too high and I would like to keep the stock front sight. Also a lot of them do not have replaceable apertures and I will need this ability.
We shall see what happens!
