    Wanted..... b s a standard sight blade

    Good day gentlemen,
    firstly, thanks to those who helped valuing my bsa standard a few weeks ago. I now have another one, this (I think) is in even better condittion, but the sight blade is cracked through directly below the vee. Has anyone got a spare for sale? or can anyone recommend a dealer who may have one. thanks again bob5

    Sorry Bob I haven't got one but J Knibbs supplies repros http://www.airgunspares.com/ as also do
    Protek Supplies http://www.proteksupplies.co.uk/bsa-spares.html
    I have used a John Knibbs H section one and thought it was ok, Protek only supply the U section ones and I don't know how good they are.

    Hi Bob, these can be repaired by welding, or soldering a small strip on......fiddly, but do-able ....I would normally offer to help out mate, but work is really tricky at the moment regarding home jobs

    To weld, it needs to be in the block, and tig is the process, use alloy steel mig wire with the copper rubbed off, and totally fill the vee.....then file a new one.

    To solder...just shape a strip that is the width of the blade, and below the vee.....tin this with solder, and the blade, hold in place then a quick pass with a small jet, or touch with a soldering iron will have it done (wont look as neat as welding though).

    Even a second hand BSA genuine one may not fit exactly, as these were fettled in.......I have found they often are stiffer / looser if changed between similar guns.....yours looks to be in very good order, so a welded repair would be the way to go IMHO.

    Have an ask round, you never know who your mates know!
