There was a thread showing how to use the 4.5v batteries in the battery box for mgz sights, etc, in order to illuminate the reticle. I found the thread in but the photos are no long there. Can anyone post the photos again on how to do this?

Thanks

If you have an unmodified box that uses the 4.5v batteries, it's not difficult once you see it. You simply bend the leader tabs down the sides of the batteries and then insert them head first into the box. They stand on their heads, so to speak. Once bent down, the tabs are in position to make contact with the side contacts in the box. Here's a picture of them inserted into the box.
