Having used tang sights for many years the first question that comes to my mind is ........... how much backlash do you have when you reverse directions of adjustment?
You should be able to take the backlash out, by going past the desired setting and then going back to it; the same as accounting for backlash on a milling machine. Wonderful work, by the way. Mike
The engraving I done on a Cnc Milling machine. In the old days this was done by hand.
Here a picture how it would be installed on a rifle. In the picture you see a muzzle loading rifle , but this sight was designed to installed on a breech loading rifle so that it is possible to clean the barrel from the back.
