Thompson Ctr #7194 Aperture Disk compatibilty

mehavey · January 15, 2014, 08:57 PM

I picked up (another growing collector's item) well-used T/C Hawken that had been originally
put togther as a kit in 1980 or so. (`have already put a Green Mtn replacement
45 cal patched-ball/slow-twist barrel on it.)

One of the reasons I picked it out of the rack, however, was that it already had a T/C compact
tang peep sight on it:

Out of curiosity from the experience of other T/C owners with this sight, is it compatible with
standard Williams aperture disks ?

I don't believe so - but it's been awhile since I tried swapping the apertures (like, 30 years), and may be misremembering.

Found a Williams 0.093 disk tonight and tried it out.
It screwed right in....

I would not have thought it was so either (at I was worried),
until OLD No 7 posted his own experience HERE.
