Re: ATM Using acid for Daisy gun Mod.

["Bob" <bob@garden.net>]

I am not sure if I am missing something here, but what is the advantage of
trying to modify a Daisy Sight as opposed to just buying something like a
Celestron Star Pointer finder. The Celestron is made for Astronomy, has a
fairly large lens area and sells for around $25.00 at some mail order
houses. Why would one risk a serious accident using acid, trying to modify
something that may or may not work just to save a few bucks?
