I have 2 of the P-H 6-hole eyepieces, one came with & fits into my A.G. Parker No9W. It interchanges with the "target" windage adjustable P-H sight too. The other came with & fits into the thread adapter in the Central. But they do not interchange! Anybody ever heard of this? They look identical at first glance but then you realize one has a short cylindrical tube over the base of the threaded part & the thread stops short. The other has no collar & is fully threaded! If you do the thread check with the meshing screws they do not match but its so slight its barely visible to the naked eye!  I have to dig up my single aperture one & see which variety it is now? Any thoughts?

Shamu, are the threads different (different thread standard)? Isn’t Central a Australian company? Not sure what thread standard they may have used.

Yes they are. & smart too! It comes with the biggest threaded hole commonly used, the German Centra or
Gehmann (I know) but it goes to the "standard" P-H tapered thread (or any other) depending on the adapter you buy. The short knurled cylinder is the adapter. It goes from the Central's Female 9.5mm "large" standard to the smaller 7/32" male ones.  ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs.

I’d have to see pics - I know there is a adapter to fit the German Anschutz eyepiece that screws on the Parker Hale eyepieces. Got pics to share ?
