I have been working on a new semi-auto QEV rifle but in the mean time i have made a few changes to my old one. i removed the scope and decided to make some mounted iron sights as i usually use this gun from a range maxing out about 10m making a scope useless. I am fairly impressed by the results.
comments, suggestions
thanks,

So are we
One thing that I don't like is the quick connect fitting... somehow I wouldn't feel safe when my eye was so close to a QC on a gun filled to 500 psi or so

I can hit a coke can with decent ammo from 10m using these sights which is good enough for me

yeh i was the same when i first built it but i have gotten used to it and i generally only use it around 200psi so it feels pretty safe now.

I've used brass quick connect fittings at 1,000psi repeatedly no problems. The ball valves went first

Beautiful. Are the sights adjustable?

Yeh both sights are adjustable and removable but i generally keep them in the same position and have learned to adjust my aim for distance/elevation.

Probably not that significant in terms of the accuracy of the launcher and the range you're shooting at, but you're better off with a small notch as opposed to a circular hole.
