A Prototype Adjustable Aperture Disk, Part 3

Almost done.

I used some Oxpho blue to colour the parts. I got a poor result for some reason. Hey, it's a prototype...I'll figure that out later.

That's a 1/16" ball on top of the tiny spring inside one half.

Screwed together.

Mounted on the sight. Tightened up the disk is on the wrong side.

Also I didn't make the boss long enough and the body fouled against the sight body.

So I made a short spacer to time the threads and place the disc on the right side.

Tiny hole.

Large hole. 8 different holes selectable by rotating the disk.

You can see I put a coarser knurl on the disk.
