Red Dot Conversion

This is a follow up of a thread that I had a couple weeks ago, so I wanted to wrap it all together in this thread of what I did.

I had obtained a free red dot sight during mid december. It was acually my brother's, and it was meant to attach to the side of a rifle.

I was happy to find this sight and decided I would use it for my paintball gear because my Phenom was in need of a sight.

Here are some pictures of the red dot when I first got it......







I decided that I was going to take off the side mount and attach two 30mm rifle mounts onto the red dot. This way it could attach to picatinny rails on most paintball guns.

So a few days later I went to Scheeles Sporting Goods, and bought me a pair of rifle mounts. They have a flatt balck finish and costed about $20.

I clamped the sight in a vice and removed the side mount with a hack saw.

Here are some pictures......





Then I smoothed down the rough edges with a bench grinder........



After making the edge flush, I attached the scope mounts.







I was amazed by how good the scope mounts fit because it was a tight area between the battery compartment and the sight.


I love the new look of the sight, it looks natural on the sight.


Finally I attached the red dot to my Phenom..............






If you havent noticed, I love using pictures.

What do you guys think?

Police protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime. They usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
