Does it work well with an epiphany dot. Do you have to drill any screw holes. Thanks

Hi Keith. I assume that you are talking about on of the Epiphone semis (ES-335 style). If this is the case, you should be able to screen the plate directly into the stud bar wholes w/o having to drill at all. I did this on my Gibson Es-369. Make sure you measure the spacing between the two wholes (should be standard) and compare with the blueprint on the Vibramate site. Another solution I can make is to by a Bigsby B3 tailpiece that you can mount on the strap button and get a kit with a string spoiler from Christian Towner. This is what I have done and it looks a bit more "classic": http://townerusa.com/ Hope this helps.

Hello! From what I've found, It doesn't look like the Matrix tight has a mounting hole for any kind of light. It is a better quality light than what came with mine, by far. It screws directly into a threaded hole in the outside ring. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'm not sure how well it would work on a sight that isn't designed for a light. Unless you are a very good machinist, or know one, you would have to upgrade to a lighted sight to be able to use this.

I think he answered your question. The back piece (magnifier) flips over to the side allowing you to use your iron sights through the front eotech circle/dot. Just a pice of my .02cents I Love this combo! Though I have heard great things about the vortex magnifier and may give it a shot. It's over 200 less :/ good luck!

Yes, this has 2 holes on the back for mounting, which is great, because I wanted to mount this hub also. The only problem is that there is no template to use for screw placement. I had to just "eyeball" it and I believe that I did a fairly good job and it wasn't that hard to do. But even if you are not thrilled with the mounting issue, the product itself is great! I cannot recommend it high enough!!

I simply traced around it with a sharpie, cut the hole, then spotted the screw holes in the same manner. If you need more precision, you may need to google the standard for this component.

I have a GG&G 1281 Flip Up Front Sight. They work well together. Make sure that if you go that route, pick the sight that fits what your gun has. Some gas blocks are lower than the plane of where the rear sight mounts. If that's the case, choose the one that specifies "for gas block mounting." Mine happens to be the same plane all the entire length of the rifle, so this one worked fine. It's all aluminum and matches the finish on my rifle very well. Flip ups are nice when you opt to run optics also. Likewise, for red dots, it can cowitness if desired. A good red dot will not require a cowitness. The sight pops up with authority and locks in place. Once locked, it's very solid and steady. To fold, just press the button once more and fold it down...again solid engagement. There are many other sights to choose from. Some excessively high dollar ones that do the same job. As a Soldier with over 24 years experience with this particular platform and various sights and optics, as long as it's zeroed properly and remains undamaged, it'll perform better than the shooter for years to come. The front sight tool that this sight uses is the four prong one. For only a few bucks, it's worth buying it as well. The other option is to use a nail or the tip of a bullet to depress and move the sight as needed...usually causing little scratches where the tool does not. Hope this helps. Hit me up if you ever have more questions that I may possibly have an answer to.

Yes but I think you need the 5 point sight tool to get it in without scratching it as the tip with the tritium rotates independently from the screw.

Oh no darling. This one takes a magnifier with the instructions. It arrives pre-threaded, and I suggest you take well lit photos of this with the panel open to see how its threaded. This way you can refer to them rather than the instructions, as one of the illustrations is slightly inaccurate. There is a learning curve to this, but if you are patient and follow the instructions along with your photos, you should be fine. The mistakes I've made are from the threads getting hung up at the spools. Attention to detail is a must with operating one of these, and double check the steps. This must be threaded in a specific order, or it won't work. It does work well, but takes some acclimation. Don't get discouraged. If I had the money, I would have bought a Bernina (made by Juki), or something that is easier to thread. I don't use it enough to warrant a thousand, or two, dollar investment. I got this one at a black friday deal.

I have and it works great. Easy to mount. Make sure you use some Loctite blue to keep the screws from backing out.

We installed this on 3 different sights: one with a rectangular frame and two with circular. The idea is to install the pins according to the species and their recommendation, then fine tune it from there. The one mounted straight up and down required less adjustment for us. The toughest to pin adjust on the round frame like yours was the short yardage, since it is the biggest spread between the belly and back lines. A smaller round frame doesn't allow the spread to adjust much with each adjustment hole. This wasnt a big deal, however, because you need this item less for distinguishing a 20 and 30 yard shot than 30-40-50. Bottom line is it will work, but anything less than 20 yards may be more difficult to dial in. The idea isnt really to nail an exact distance, rather to ensure you are estimating much more accurately. Simple idea and a great product for my purposes - and for twenty bucks hard to go wrong. Final note: be sure to clean the surface before you apply. Missed a spot on one sight and the adhesive didn't stick there. Excellent adhesion where we were more thorough. Hope that helps.

Yes, you need to drill an extra hole for the front sight, but it was very easy and worked and looks great.

They work the same as three dot sights, they don't gather light so they don't have any advantage over plain three dot sights. Where these are at their best is in total or near total darkness and you might consider a different front sight Tritium lamp, such as yellow rear and green front. Some difference that will show the front sight better at night. It's all a matter of choice and cost. Buy the ones you like for the best price but the originals are on very tight and I had to use a file on the sight's to make them fit. Good luck.

with out the 3x magnifier I wanted the two dot easy to see . with out the 3x magnifier over two dots hard to see them . yeah with 4 dots and no ◾3x magnifier looks like a straight line. I dint want the weight and pay the extra cash. my friend has the 4 dot and 3x magnifier really nice set up. hope this helped you :)

all octabox has a Little problem to assembly but you can try with the quick ring from bowens, in YouTube you can see how to make the holes to work with octabox

It uses 2 screws and is held on securely. No movement. Do not use the template that is included. Use the hole to hole dimension on the box to pre drill the screws. The template was slightly off and caused me headaches.

Hello! No, also it does not provide any attach for do so... Its a food device, but it will be possible to use a screwdriver to open it and fix the little enceintes, but theres no a problem! I fix mine in less than five minutes! There is no too much distorsion, works good on clean. Its for practice and maybe little rush with friends or jammings inside a room.

I don't know if the size of the kits vary but the one I assembled is 1 1/4 x 1 x 7/8". That does not include optional mounting taps to secure the motor to a surface with screws that extend 3/8" out each side of the 7/8' side. In my application it was necessary for building a revolving lighthouse beacon so the actual foot print of the 7/8" side was actually 1 5/8". That is also the dimension in which the hexagonal axle runs through the engine which probably explains its length which I estimate to be approx. 2 1/2" (I would need to disassemble my mechanism to give you actual dimensions, something I am not inclined to do). 2 1/2 " is a pretty close estimate +/- 1/8".
