Instead of like a sun baked piece of fence post lol
More like shit covered ass paddle.
That's a bit of a slippery slope, though. For instance, anyone who has two eyes to see with can tell you that the shellac finish on Soviet Mosins is not original. It was done postwar. The wartime finish was oil, like everywhere else. Despite this, it is generally frowned upon to strip the stock and oil it, and it generally devalues the rifle (to whatever extent you can devalue a Mosin without bringing Tapco into the equation). It also causes consternation when someone later down the line tries to sell it as !!!RARE ORIGINAL OIL FINISH!!!, because a few such examples do exist and trying to figure out which is which can be a headache.Quote:

Who would ever try and sell a Mosin who doesn't work at a gun shop?
Every derp on armslist that buys a crate of them.

The way it works is there's a laser in the back of the unit that reflects off of the glass you look through. Due to this reflective nature, the dot always shows where the bullet will go (assuming you've got the dot zeroed in of course). You don't even need to hold the gun straight. The bullet will hit whatever the dot is on. This shit is straight up cheating.
Yes, it is the latest evolution of what was once refered to as a collimated gunsight. They have existed since the end of the 19th century and been in common military usage on aircraft since 1917. Really the only big difference between that an a WWI Oigee reflector sight is that it uses a laser instead of a small incandescent lamp, and also the degree of miniaturisation.
The next step up is the gyroscopic reflector gunsight, which also computes lead based on the motion of the thing the sight is mounted on and a range to target input. 1941 technology.
