I have a couple of those unmodified MMC sights, Wish I knew how to alter them like Skeeter did. I read that article in 1971 when it was published. I still have the magazine. Thanks for the memory flashback Rich.

Rich,
thanks for posting. Interesting project.
I'll see what MMC still has available- if they are still around.

Me too Ed... He was a first edition of Sheepherder when it came to experimenting... Loved his articles growing up.
