[Rootshot]

The JP Jpoint sight is very compact, super light, and has a number of pistol mounts available (http://www.jprifles.com/1.6.1a.php).

If you are doing a custom artillery-type barrel, I would set a short (2") picatinny rail where the rear sight customarily sits and place the sight on that. If you want lower profile and eliminate the rail, JP has a gunsmith mount that allows you to attach the sight directly to the barrel (http://www.eabco.com/store/index.php...t_version=true).

The Jpoint mounts will work with the Tasco Optima as well. If you are interested, I have a spare Optima sight.

There's a lot of cheap red dots out there but if you want something extremely small, light and very good quality (but still affordable), try the Optima 2000: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TASCO-OPTIMA...item56434b9a0c

I have one of these on my Beretta 92FS, and it's about as small as they come. It's a discontinued model that can be found dirt cheap, but it's the grandfather of the Docter sights and in my opinion just as well built as anything out there. I have had mine for about 10 years, and it has never failed. You buy the mount separately, but I believe JPoint sights are an exact copy and the mounts should also fit on the Optima: http://www.jprifles.com/1.6.1a.php

Hi there, How are you coming along with this scope mount for the Luger? I'd be interested in getting one from you. Thanks. Resp George

The basic idea here is to keep the sight off the moving barrel/toggle areas and to take advantage of a left master eye.

Many ideas have gone by the wayside here in concept of design, but had to start somewhere. Over the years in another type of design business, I found that designs are often iterations.

The aluminum section with the modded Weaver mount is removeable from the pistol as an attempt to improve later the aluminum mount section. The mount is offset to the left and forward some for consideration of charging the pistol and keeping the red dot out of the blast some.

The aluminum mount is attached to the steel support block via two 10x32 screws and two alignment pins. I have thought some about machining alignment v-slots for repetition concepts, but first things first. First attempt in prototyping is surely simplistic but hopefully used as a testbed for improvements.

Hopefully at 25yds it will work ok if it stays on the pistol with the super adhesives, if not, perhaps a reinforcing shim under the flat and drill/tap like the old days.

Please pardon the junk on the table top.
