MREQ - nifty origin for garand

Ive recently been playing with LGW_Jacpwner's iron sight models...and i really like some of them, but not others. For example, i like the kar98, because it only uses one sight, on the tip of the barrel. This is unlike the garand, which looks through two sights, and obstructs the view of the screen too much for my liking. So what im asking, is for someone to take the garand, and make the origins so that its iron sighted, but youre only looking at the second sight, the one on the tip of the barrel, instead of through both sights like on LGW_Jacpwner's iron signted garand. I like it this way, because it is more of a challenge than a crosshair, but it doesnt block the whole screen like real iron sighted models for guns which have 2 sights....like most of the american models do. Look at LGW_Jacpwner's american models to see what i mean....they block a large portion of the screen.


If you dont understand what I mean by looking through only the second sight, look at the attached picture, it shows what i mean. basically the same origins as the kar in that pic, except with a garand. it'd also be great if this could be done with a nice garand model, like the one Dillinger just released....

Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to give it a try....

Since no one seemed interested I got over my laziness and learned how to do it myself, my first model/origin/whatever.

You should try it out, its a fun origin to use once you get used to it.

I did it with Nomad's garand, re - skinned by BruTaLiz@tioN, released in this (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8626&perpage=15&pagenumber=1) thread.

Not bad....but I'm not a fan of IS's.

Me neither...unless they're on a gun like the k98 or k43, which only has one sight. Otherwise, it blocks too much of the screen. So these origins, although not realistic because you're only using one sight, are easier to play with. So its really only half - iron sighted.
