Saw a clever sight tool in a dusty Colorado workshop

I was driving through Colorado last month and pulled over at a small gunsmith shop. The owner showed me a jig he built for scope mounting using spare camera parts. It was just a few bits of metal and some screws, but it locked everything in place perfectly. I asked how he came up with it, and he said he got tired of fighting with loose rings. Back home, I made my own version and it's been a game changer for precision work. Sometimes the simplest fixes are the best ones. Thought you all might appreciate this little find from the road.

Camera parts for a scope jig? That’s a wild mix of hobbies right there.

Makes you wonder what other shop fixes are hiding in plain sight.
