    Wanted BSA Cadet Front Sight

    some one out there must have one kicking around.
    Thanks,
    Mike.
    Why is it called tourist season if we can't shoot at them?

    I bought one from John Knibbs last year - not particularly cheap but it fitted the dovetail perfectly.

    Cadet front sight

    Cadet sight looks similar to the front sight from a BSA underlever pre 1939. You could make a dovetail block from a piece of mild steel bar, drill and fix a suitable sight blade. I made a dovetail block for a Meteor Mark 1 rear sight from a piece of alu bar (the alu bends to fit the steel barrel dovetail)and fitted a brass strip rear sight to the alu block...not a work of art but works fine. You can make a pattern with a piece of plasticine or similar.

    If someone was kind enough to give me the taper measurements of their original sight I will see what I have got
    I used to repair and restore airguns but time became short so still have several I collected on the way.
    Good luck, they are a great bunch on here and I am sure someone will help
