Looking at your second picture you can see the glare in the concaved part of the aperture.
I noticed on mine that with back lighting the glare is distracting.
I took the sight apart and turned the aperture around 180°. After searching for about 1/2 hours for the small ball and spring that fell out I had it back together.
There is no glare and the surface facing the shooter is flat. The sight picture is very good.
Do you think there is any reason for the concaved side to be toward the shooter?
Hey, rainman 74! I appreciate your reply. Please don't take this as mocking you, but I believe that you have the sight mounted backwards on the weapon. From what you described above, it appears to me that you might. I believe the sight should be mounted with the 'concaved' peep facing towards the muzzle of the weapon, and the 'tail', if you will, with the 'flip open' lever facing you. At least that's how I have mine mounted. If I am incorrect here, I'm sure someone will let me know. Perhaps it doesn't really matter which way the sight is mounted, and if this is so, your 'fix' has merit. Best!
