    Well I'm strapped for cash and can't spend a ton on a sight so I scraped around tonight and made my own red dot sight pin. Put a LED behind the pin and powered it with a 9v batt. Then I added a on off switch so I didt have to keep disconnecting the batt.

    I can go into further detail about It if anyone would like. It's kinda a first "ghetto" mock up, I will prob break it down a little and see if I can come up with a cleaner look. Prob a smaller switch and put a light coat of black paint on it so the light switch isn't so distracting. Tell me what ya think......cool.....stupid?
