I gotta stop finding good deals on equipment. Either that, or the reloading stuff has to move to the house and the shop needs to be rearranged, again.

Finally! This has been a long time coming, but I finally have periscopes ready to ship. Price is $425 each, $10 shipping per order. I also have custom wrenches available for $20 each. They are for tightening the lock nut down, are 1/2"(not the typical 12mm) and feature a 1/4" drive for a torque wrench.
The anti-rotate bracket is designed for Warner style sights. If you are shooting a rear sight that does not use the same type of block where the Iris screws in, a periscope without the bracket is $400.
I currently have (8) periscopes ready to go and will be finishing them in batches of (12) at a time until demand drops off or I run out. The reason for the batch finishing is buying the mirrors that go inside. No point in buying thousands of dollars worth of mirrors if they aren't needed.
I will be going through email/messages to catch up on those who already requested them to purchase.
If you want to purchase one, email me at [email protected] That is the easiest way for me to keep track of everyones requests.

Finally, a few periscopes will be going out on Monday. They'll be getting tested out at Midwest Palma.
I'm out of the shop this coming week, but will be completing more starting next weekend.

Last parts are done! Off to finishing tomorrow, if they get back to me in time.

Main bodies, threaded inserts and jam nuts are made. Need to do a little deburing on the main bodies, finish machining the last few covers and debur the back edge, then the parts that are going out for anodizing/black oxide are ready(Monday hopefully). Anti-rotate brackets will be the only parts left to do make(will be raw SS finish, nuts too).
Then, once the parts come back from finishing, stems get epoxied in then the main bodies go back in the mill for some finishing machining. Finally, mirrors get installed.

If only I had something to organize the parts in making....Oh!
