Mojo Snap Sights?

I'm back after a long hiatus. I fixed the slam fire problem on my '42 Izzy 91/30.

Now I'm looking at the Mojo sights. However, I can only find reviews of the click rear sight. Does anybody have the dual apature "snap" sight? How well do they really work?

 

I don't know anyone using them, sorry.

 

Heh, Well, I'll get some anyway, looks like it's time for a range report!

 

I put a set on my plain Jane 43 Izzy and it made one heck of a difference. That was only at 50 yards but with my eye's I'll take it.

 

I will say this. I have peep sights on my M28/76 and I love them.

 

How the heck do you get a slam fire in a bolt action rifle????

 

Heh, well, it's a long story but suffice to say at the end of the day the bolt stop wasn't properly engaging, so every time I closed the bolt, the firing pin engaged. I fixed it though, I could (and have) wail on it with a mallet without it going off.

 

I have the mojo peep sights, but they work so well for me I haven't bothered putting the dual aperture on.

 

Is that pronounced the way it looks? Cowpie?

 

Yes, yes it is.

 

I hesitate to comment on them; however, I've heard from some folks who had their rear sight come apart on them. I'm sure that, had they sent it back to Mojo, they would have made it right.

Personally, I find them mounted too far forward with too small an aperture to be much use to me -- the Arisaka is the same way.

Got me an idea for a no-drill mounting of a rear peep, though... working on it.

keep us posted

 

Well, a big mallet is all you need to fix ANY Mosin problem!

 

The aperture really isn't that small, it's pretty much a ghost ring. I've had the same problem with it "coming apart" and it's pretty much user error; you back the adjustment out too far and the screw comes out and the whole assembly pretty much fails...all you gotta do is screw it back together.

 

I see. Thank you for the info.

As I said, I do not bash competition!
