I was left a curious piece of optics when my dad passed recently.
It's a "dot" sight that uses a prism to project a dot on the lens. And it works with ambient light.
Has anyone ever seen one of these before?

Is it a Weaver Qwik Point? I have one for Remington 1100/870 & one for a rifle. Uses a primitive fiber optic to glow. I have used mine a few times just to see how it worked. Some are very clear and others cloudy.

Hard to tell, if it's unbranded, and no pics.
Red Dot reflex sights, even the early Opima 2000, use a battery - as does the Accupoint.
It could also be a:
Armson OEG
Meprolight
Trijicon ACOG
Weaver Quick Point
.
Daisy made a simple adjustable one that used reflected daylight to project a red dot on the plastic lens. It actually worked ok for the 5 dollars or so that it cost. It was all plastic except for the adjustment screws.Quote:

This one is steel, brass and glass. It's brand name is nydar ,model #47.
There is nothing cheaply made about it. It still has the leather carrying case.
Armson OEG's mounted on a Remington 1100 and a RH.................they don't require batteries. Operate off ambient light and a tritium (radioactive) element.

Found a few good hits on google for your Nydar sight, looks like the one in the article uses a base which yours does not have, I suppose they made different bases for different applications.Quote:

I have a couple of the Daisy ones. They do work well. Only draw back is the sticker that is the dot fell off.Quote:
