Iron sights

[mike mccormick]

Picked up an old Martini Int'l mk2 with the intention of playing the smallbore prone game again.( It's been 30 years). Is there still anyone offering refurbished Redfield or Parker Hale irons?

I am not familiar with that sight. Can you send me a picture and the particulars?

I don't know of anyone that does.
The Redfield and Parker Hales aren't has good as the new offerings. Warner (no longer made), Phoenix (limited production), RPA Trakkers, Centra, and etc.

Sam Gates was a well know Smallbore shooter from the early 60’s though the mid 90’s. Sam was a toolmaker by trade and decided to make a Sight which he felt was better than anything available at that time. All where hand fitted and very accurate. I think he made around 700 plus sights in his career.

You see I have two. One early ser. #030 and a let one ser. #615
The old one is marked Guideline which is were Sam worked as a toolmaker. I got it with some other things a couple years ago. The later one I bought new from him and used during my Smallbore days. It has tape on it that I used to help me with the zero but could easily be removed.

Both are in excellent condition and are 1/4x1/4. I would sell either for $325 shipped.

Thanks for your interest,

Did you know Sam gates

I knew Mr. Gates and he was one of my mentors as a Jr shooter. He was a true gentleman.

Do those sights pre-date the Redfield Mk. 10?

 

[Jimmiecrackcorn]

I talked to Bill and he had the sight
