Please could anyone tell me if the Air Arms diopter sight will fit on a 1980's HW 35 as my eyesight is not good enough for the standard rear sight
Thanks
Dave
The one I'm looking at is for the S200 from Ant Supplies £ 29.00
**WANTED**: WEBLEY PATRIOT MUZZLE END; Any Diana/Original mod.50 parts, especially OPEN SIGHTS
Rails are 11mm. and I have accepted Logunner's very kind offer
Thanks for all the replies again

You'll need to fit a recoil stud of some description. The dovetail clamp will locate the diopter, but doesn't stand a chance of staying put without some assistance.
The best way IMO is to drill and tap the base (in the correct location! once you've had a trial fit).
M5 or M6 buttonhead hex looks neat and is a sensible size.
Spin a nut on the bolt. Grind/file off the thread that will engage with the action, cut to length, spin off nut to tidy up the threads and refit to diopter. HTH
Sight came today from Logunner. Great gesture. Will also follow 18 wheelers advice about securing

You don't hang around! Nice job, and my favorite version of the classic '35 too.
If you want to darken down your recoil stop you can get a decent "heat blueing" result on SS just using a gas hob. Degrease first and holding with some pliers (!) I use a blow torch to do mine, but I've managed a similar result on the cooker as an experiment.
You don't want to overheat it, just to an orange/light orange, and personally I don't quench them as I want to avoid excessive brittleness. A couple of trial runs and you'll have the hang of judging the colour.
Or use chemical black/spray, but the above might save you needing to buy anything extra for a small job. Apologies if the above is teaching you to suck eggs.
Happy shooting with you nice 35 Luxus.
