bsa stutzen query

[Mattatack]

Hi chaps, im in process of buying a bsa stutzen only thing is it doesnt have a fore sight which is not a problem if i can get one from somewhere. Ive been told by the seller that there is a threaded hole at the muzzle so i just need to know where to buy one from i was thinking maybe john knibbs or are they difficult to get hold off any advice would be great. Many thanks. matt

Just buy a completely new rifle Will save you the trouble of searching for spare sights.

The foresights and Williams backsight according to my Owners Manual ( read folded A4 leaflet ) by BSA for the Stutzen were sold as optional accessories . I have handled a few Stutzens both tap load and Rb2 and somehow most all had sights fitted . Early adverts in the Mags showed some retailers selling these Stutzens in two options - with and without the sights
Check the threaded hole for the foresight - it should appear way too small to take the large sight screw - in fact there should be a hex headed bolt sunk down deep inside this hole to keep dirt out . Once you thread it out with a suitable Allen key you'll fit the foresight in no probs . Very nice of BSA to think of owners in this kindly manner . Only wish they sold the Stutzen with sights from the start

Just got a stutzen RB2 1992 - 2000.
Does anyone know if the fore sight ALWAYS had a hood?
I must admit I prefer it without one;

Hi ,
the Stutzen Foresight assembly consists of 6 parts each with its own serial number - the cast alloy base unit ( with the post element , washer ,screw , retaining pad ) and a blued steel hood - and sometimes I leave it off as it does look nicer without
