old shotgun sight
I was just at a gun show yesterday and saw an old shotgun sight (1946) it was very similar to the current holographic sights but no battery, just an small mirror in the back and the window in front. It projected a bullseye image when you looked through it.The name started with an A but I can't remember the rest of it.I looked in my old gunsight book but no luck.Anyone remember anything about it.The guy selling it did not know. thanks

OXEFORD sight one mounted on a pistol won the NRA pistol matches at Camp Perry then the AIMPOINT "first one weighed a ton" became popular and then other makers cut down on weight and increased the battery life. THE rest is History. 0 -
Are you refering to the "NADAR" sight? 0 -
It is a NYDAR sight made by the Swain Nelson Co.
The basis for this sight was taken directly from World War ll. Allied aircraft had similar sights, but using the exact same principal, and shot down many axis war planes using their modified Nydar Sights. The inner dot represents 12" inches at 50 yards, while the outer ring is positioned so that the ring itself is always 24" inches from the inner dot. This makes the Nydar Gun Sight the PERFECT "scatter gun" hunting sight. In fact, as the original brochure explains, all pellets fired at a range of 25 yards was within the outer ring of the Nydar Gun Sight.
You could get three bases for it and just change the sight top end between a single barrel, double barrel, and a punp or semi auto reciever. All the adjustments are in the base.0 -
Thanks to XXcross and DCSshooters Yes- that's the one I was refering to. Guess my memory was so bad I thought it started with an A, Thanks for the info, I knew you guys could come up with the answer even though I didn't give you much to work with. Thanks again 0
