Default homemade peep sight for my 50cal hawken

first thing first, i don't have metal work experience at all, so I normally shy away from this type of work. but you just have to break down and give it an try.

22ga steel

one of the adjustment lines is not straight nor long enough. the peep hole is off center. but still, an working sight.

It is not all that bad heck it is better than nothing at all. I wish I could find a post by Semisane I beleive, in which he had some different size apetures that were round about the size of nickels and you could change them out, it was a really slick idea. I'll keep looking unles he chimes in.
