Today, I found this rear aperture in an M14 parts bin at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot. I caught my eye because it lacks the hole. The dealer said that he originally had a pack of 20. It was one of 3 that I found. Any thoughts? BTW, I only paid $5 for it, just out of curiosity.

with single thru hole and used the fine serrated elevation disk.
The Hooded NM are 2nd generation.

You Got LUCKY.

Maybe Gus F. will confirm.

I don't understand. Is the size bothersome? When I previewed prior to posting, I thought they were fine given the size of the object I was trying to photograph.

I am totally surprised seeing early NM slide aperatures without the aperature hole.

Were they drilled later?

they were drilled to customize for shooter.
As I have found for my eyed the .0595 is better for me (age: 56).

Try emailing Gus Fisher, he should know for certain.

I think the photo size is fine - pictures are in focus and show great detail.
