    zimmer liked post by No.3 On thread : Parker Hale aperture sight threads 7/32-36 TPI
    Sure it's not 7/32x40 or #12-40? Not sure that I've ever seen that thread listed as a 36tpi, my little cheat list refers to it as a 40tpi?

    More like $600 from each and every person in NZ from the latest figure of $3 billion. $2400 for my household, and I'd still have to pay a fare to actually use it???? I don't think so!!!!!
