Each base plate has an array of complementary-shaped interlocking projections. One of the base plates is configured to be forcibly urged apart from the other base plate to reposition the array of interlocking projections in order to selectively position the rib relative to the barrel at one of a plurality of locations each corresponding with a unique pitch for the rib relative to the barrel. An adjustable gun sight is also provided.

Abstract: A rugged, adjustable optical alignment device well suited for use as a pistol rear sight is adapted for use in a dovetail, as is customarily seen on the slide of an automatic pistol. The sight assembly includes a rear notch, but could just as easily include a peep aperture or other optical alignment structure. The rear sight provides an easy click-detent adjusting mechanism for horizontal translation of the notch, as well as a second click-detent mechanism for vertical translation of the structure defining the notch, thereby providing adjustments for windage and elevation. A base hingedly supports a vertical tilt member. A horizontal slide member mounted on the rear of the vertrical tilt member is horizontally translatable by adjustment of a windage adjustment screw.

Abstract: A low profile, self-aligning, flip-up mechanism for aiming devices used with firearms. The mechanism folds the aiming device into the contour of the firearm during non-use. The mechanism is spring-loaded and flips into a vertical operational position with a simple movement of a finger or thumb. The mechanism includes at least two separate aiming elements that are mounted in a fashion that allows them to rotate relative to one another thereby facilitating a smaller storage profile. The mechanism also causes the aiming device to self-align itself as it moves into an operational position assuring vertical position repeatability.

Abstract: The invention concerns an adjustable sighting device for a small arm, in particular, for a shotgun, with a rail body (3) that can be fixed on the barrel (1) or the barrel group of the small arm, and a sighting device (4) which is arranged in an adjustable manner on the rail body (3). In order to obtain improved adjustment possibilities, the sight rail (4) is adjustable in height relative to the rail body (3) at both ends, by means of adjusting elements (6, 13).

Abstract: A firearm sighting system includes a rear sight unit having a plurality of separate sight elements adaptable for “zeroing” the same gun with different ammunition. In preferred embodiments, a rear sight unit comprises windage and elevation adjustments for each of two sight elements, so that multiple ammunition types having different trajectories may be fired accurately from a single firearm after zeroing-in one of the plurality of sight elements for each of the different ammunition types. Preferably, the separate sight elements may be connected to each other or to a common pivot arm or movable bracket so that moving one sight element into the sight path automatically removes the other from the line of vision. Elevation adjustments may be done in various ways, for example, by sliding sight elements out along an arm or bracket, or by changing an angle of the arm or bracket relative to the firearm.
