FS- “The Original” Kapnner Blinder

Own a piece of Trapshooting history. Designed, manufactured and sold by Frank Kapner of SW Ohio in the 1970’s. I have 3 of these available. Price including s/h….$65.00 each. Shoot Well.

 

Okay, I'll bite. What is it?

 

Looks like a site blinder. Meadow Industries makes one that attaches to your rib with two sided sticky tape. This one looks to predate Meadow Industries site blinder. Justy guess. Shoot straight.

 

Make sure the Gun is UNLOADED. They slide on. I always sprayed Rem oil on the end of barrel. The gap in the rings of the blinder are for the rib. Slide the blinder down the rib to your desired spot. Turn the blinder clockwise until the blinders blade meets the side of the rib. Wipe the excess oil away. (They do have a rubber type coating on them to keep from scratching the barrel)
These blinders were designed for fixed lower ribbed guns; Model 12's, 870, 1100, BT's ect. Remember, that this was designed in the 70"s. There were not too many high ribbed guns back then.

As a tribute to Frank, price is reduced to $45.00 shipped.

 

I believe Frank told me he developed and sold the patent of that item all those years ago.

 

These are one’s that Frank made. Shot with him a lot of years….
