Problem is with a muzzle loader, but folks here use the same sort of sight set up.
I have a slight by very distracting issue with a tang peep sight installed on a 54 Hawken replica. In use, it gives the appearance of there being a small piece of lint or fuzz going from the edge originating at about 2:00 o’clock and reaching to the center of one’s field of view in the aperture. Functional, but again distracting. Full or partial rotations of the eye piece generate the same illusion from the same angle. Removing the hammer (slightly ahead and to the right side of the sight) has no effect. Removing the barrel leaves the same result, and with the barrel off and a white paper towel along the full length of the stock it’s still there.
I’ve run wire, thread, and compressed air through the aperture again with no effect. Completely buffaloed. Same appearance when light is coming from behind, the sides, or from near directly ahead. Suggestions or thoughts appreciated?
Thank you,
