If it works, then sweet! What kind of accuracy are you getting with it?

Is that a sling swivel?

Cocking piece has too much movement to ever hold zero unless you push over on it before each shot.

You are going to poke your eye out with that thing.

I like your engineering. Just not sure it will hold zero as stated above, however, good job! Post pics of your target next time it gets out.

I think it's an innovative idea that is fraught with possible problems. Nice work, though.

Hello,

Why? There's the horizontal slack adjustment to address that.

I think it's an innovative idea that is fraught with possible problems. Nice work, though.

Please explain?

Thanks,

Please excuse the surroundings and the picture quality. I did this at home, not the shop, in response to some concerns that the cocking piece will move on the x and y axis and not only the z axis. The first part demonstrates that I have a standard sear, while the second and third parts give different views of the striker knob dropping.

You will see that the cocking piece only travels in the direction it's supposed to.

Regards,

Josh

Push on the sight to the left and right. The cocking piece has slack to move. It has to by design. I'm not saying your peep sight/sling swivel isn't solid, it's just attached to something that isn't.
