BoMar sight on Mk II
Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 1:04 am
I have just completed installing a BoMar rear sight on my Lipsey MkII. The sight picture is miles better than the original sight.
It's not a drop in change. I had to mill the receiver some to clear the bottom of the sight piece. Also shorten the bolt stop for the same reason. Note: File a new slope on the front edge of the bolt stop for the recoil spring rod to ride up when assembling. Cold blue dressed it up when done.
The sights dovetail had to be reduced a little to fit the receiver. Finally I chose to use a full length 5-40 set screw for locking the dovetail. A 5-40x1/4 had to be shortened for this.
Another item done to the MkII is fit a Brownells 3/8" 22 rail mount on the original tapped holes. All my 22's can use Leupold 22 rings for the Ultradots.
And last, the trigger was improved greatly by a top BE Pistolsmith.
Only thing left to do is try lowering the mags per Bullseye's plans. There have been occasional trapped cases. I will number my mags and see if that gives me any clues.
