A couple O' questers.

The plug with threads on each end of itself.... What thread size are they ?

I assume the heavier ( courser ) thread screws into the collar , but what does the finer thread on the bottom of the plug screw into .... a nut behind the frame of the sight?

The main frame of the sight must ride up and down until pinched by the lever and associated apparatus which remains stationary.?

These sites have been in my view for many years because they look real nice on a rifle , but they have always been too much dough , and like rusty says you have to drill the receiver for them.

Nice job Gene .
