I suspect you would have some takers on this but you might want to check if you could export them as I know we cannot export receiver sights from the US.
Gun parts under $100.00 wholesale value are exempt from ITAR under 123.17(a) Minor Components. This is per single transaction.

In short this would make the import of a sight like this legal. This exemption only applies to minor components and not entire firearms or barrels, receivers, etc.

Edited for clarity.

Now that is a good looking sight ! I'd apply for a patent if you haven't already.
My Steve Young sight was loose and a small shim took care of it.

Just out of curiosity how much vertical adjustment do you have and second.
what is the dia. of your "aperture".

Wow, tight group ! That'd be wishful thinking on my part but I'm working on
it.

The vertical adjustment is about 6 mm. The present diameter is 1,5 mm.

Thanks John! Heck of a deal for a beautiful sight! I would buy one if my scope base wasn't epoxied on to the barrels. Heck, I'm already toying with the idea of buying another just to have something to mount a vtoran sight on! I wish they offered an R92 in another cartridge than the current listings.

This might be the subject of another post but how much work have you done with the Sunar 410? I remember when you started on this journey the was a bit of effort to try to locate data. Anything you might have to offer probably would help someone else down the road.

I really think this product is ready for beta testing before marketing.

I'll step out and offer to take the challenge to be a beta tester. :D

Initially, the speed was tested by another Russian user of R92. The results were:
LEE .452-255-RF
15,3 gr - Min, 453, Max, 457 Avg, 454
16,3 gr - Min, 471, Max, 479 Avg, 476
17,3 gr - Min, 491, Max, 494 Avg, 493
After that I tested cartridges with 17, 18, 19 and 20 gr load. Grouping and accuracy with 19 and 20 gr were not sufficient.
