[0035] A method for calibrating the rear sight of a pistol, the method comprising the following steps:

[0036] S1. Prepare tools

[0037] Take adjustment seat 1, movable block 3, limit block 4, cylindrical pin 8, bolt 5, and rear sight 2.

[0038] The adjusting seat 1 has a U-shaped structure with a mounting limiting groove 101 in the middle and a boss 102 on one side for mounting a top head 6 and an adjusting rod 7. The boss 102 has a coaxial circular hole 103 and a threaded hole 104 inside. The top head 6 is installed in the circular hole 103, and the adjusting rod 7 is assembled in the threaded hole 104. The adjusting rod 7 has a handle 702 at its end for easy gripping.

[0039] The limiting block 4 has a cylindrical positioning rod 401 at its front end and a etched line 404 at its upper end. A cylindrical pin 8 is used to connect the limiting block 4 to the limiting block 4 through the movable block mounting hole 302 of the movable block 3. The movable block 3 has an arrow mark 301 at its lower end and a square boss 303 at its top end.

[0040] The bolt 5 has a front sight 502 at the front and a firing pin hole 501 and a dovetail groove 503 at the rear.

[0041] The rear sight 2 is installed on the bolt 5 via an interference fit between the dovetail bevel 201 and the dovetail groove 503 on the bolt 5. The rear sight has a notch 202 in the middle and adjustment contact surfaces 203 on the left and right sides.

[0042] The firing pin hole on the bolt is concentric with the barrel. The firing pin hole on the bolt is coaxial with the front sight in the muzzle direction. The length and diameter of the cylindrical positioning rod are the same as the size of the firing pin hole, with a transition fit.

[0043] S2, Installation and Measurement Department

[0044] Install the movable block 3, the limiting block 4, and the cylindrical pin 8 into a whole. Insert the cylindrical positioning rod 401 of the limiting block 4 into the firing pin hole 501 on the bolt 5, and push the limiting block 4 inward until it can no longer be pushed.

[0045] S3, Calibrate the rearview camera

[0046] Move the movable block 3 left and right until the square protrusion 303 of the movable block 3 aligns with the notch 202 on the sight 2. Read the position of the aligning arrow mark 301 on the movable block 3 with the graduated line 404 on the limiting block 4. Place the adjusting contact surface 203 of the sight 2 on the same side as the top head 6. Rotate the handle 702 of the adjusting rod 7 to push the top head 6 to move the sight 2 within the dovetail groove 503 until the arrow mark 301 on the movable block 3 aligns with the center zero position of the graduated line 404.

[0047] Finally, remove the bolt 5 from the adjusting seat 1, and remove the measuring (moving block 3, limiting block 4, and cylindrical pin 8 as a whole) from the bolt 5 to complete the theoretical calibration of the rear sight 2.

[0048] S4, Personalized Lens Calibration

[0049] Theoretically, the firing pin hole of a pistol is concentric with the barrel, meaning the firing pin hole is concentric with the bullet when it leaves the barrel. Therefore, the firing pin hole is used for positioning, and theoretical calibration of the rear sight can be performed by measuring the offset of the rear sight relative to the firing pin hole. Through theoretical calculations and statistical analysis of a large amount of live-fire data, a data table has been established showing the correspondence between the rear sight calibration adjustment amount and the bullet impact point offset at a certain distance. The required adjustment amount for rear sight calibration can be obtained through live-fire measurements and table lookup. Personalized rear sight calibration can be achieved using the tools and methods of this invention.

[0050] For example, a user uses the rear sight notch 202 and the front sight 502 to aim at a fixed aiming point at a distance of 20m and fires. After firing, the average deviation between the bullet impact point and the aiming point is checked and found to be -10cm. By referring to the table, it is found that the rear sight 2 should be adjusted by -0.24mm. The rear sight can be adjusted by -0.24mm according to method S3.

[0051] Specifically:

[0052] This method establishes a data table showing the correspondence between the adjustment amount of the rear sight 2 and the offset distance of the bullet impact point at a certain distance through theoretical calculations and statistical analysis of a large amount of live-fire data.

[0053] Camera calibration adjustment amount ( mm )

[0054]

[0055] The user uses the pistol and, according to personal preference, aims at a fixed point using the rear sight notch 202 and front sight 502. The distance between the shooting position (the user's standing position) and the aiming point (ideal bullet impact point) is Z (distance between the user's standing position and the ideal bullet impact point). After shooting, the bullet impact point offset is checked as X (distance between the aiming point and the average bullet impact point). By referring to a table, when the shooting distance is Z and the bullet impact point offset is X, the corresponding rear sight 2 calibration adjustment is W (the relationship between the rear sight 2 calibration adjustment for other distances and offsets can be obtained from the table). The bolt 5 is removed from the pistol, and the rear sight movement W is adjusted according to the theoretical calibration method to complete the personalized calibration. (For example, if the user uses the rear sight notch 202 and front sight 502 to aim at a fixed aiming point at a distance of 20m, and after shooting, the offset between the average bullet impact point and the aiming point is checked as -10cm, by referring to the table, the rear sight 2 should be adjusted by -0.24mm. The rear sight adjustment of -0.24mm can be performed according to method S3).

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
