Hello all.

Can anyone verify the thread size for the standard flip up iron sight front post?

I'd like to use the nice, tritium lit post with some aftermarket canted irons, seems like the threads match but.... not quite. Seems like the aftermarket (cheap) sight may just need to have the threads chased, just need to confirm thread pitch first.

Thanks!

Hey all.

I'm currently running a manticor full length rail and a vortex LPVO on a vortex cantilever mount. It's a treat, just....heavy.

My question to you fine folks is this- does anyone know of any 30mm tube, picatinny rail scope mounts that would give about the same height above bore as the manticore rail + cantilever mount, using the stock top rail?

TL:DR, looking for 30mm tube picatinny rail scope mounts that put the center of the optic at least 55 mm above the rail.

Thanks everyone!

I was wondering if anyone might have a source for print at home NATO type silhouette targets. Ideally, I'd like to be able to print a to-scale target across multiple sheets of 8.5×11 printer paper and staple/ tape them to a cardboard backing.

Is this a thing that's even possible? I'd rather not spend several dollars per target when I have a printer and scrap cardboard at home.

Thanks!

I have been tasked with setting up some parameter control blocks and graphics in a PCS 7 V8.2 project, specifically, using the Parameter Control and Parameter Memory blocks.

I have gotten the block icons generated and linked in WinCC, but am having issues configuring the control block itself. Constant error #41, which indicates a data error.

My question is- Do the parameters linked to the parameter memory blocks have to be in a certain format? As it stands, the other programmer has real values directly linked to the SP_OP parameters and connections to the SP_PV parameters. Not sure what I am doing incorrectly, and my access to a testing environment is unfortunately very limited.

I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience using FINS commands (or any other tricks that I don't know) with OMRON PLCs. I'm trying to find a way to ping specified IP addresses (HMI and RIO stations, specifically), in order to make sure they're still alive and communicating, but no luck so far. Any help with a solution would be much appreciated. All devices are on the same subnet, all can be pinged from a PC, and the processor is a CJ2M-series.
