MK1 & 2 Airsporter sight hoods

[slow_runner]

Are there any generic copies being made and how much are they worth?

Jeff needed a couple for his .22 and .177 so he borrowed mine to copy.
He made his two and another for me then just wouldn't stop until he had made more than a few.

My original is the one in the centre.

Bagsy me one of these! iirc, protek used to sell these? Tenner maybe?

They look to be excellent.

If I remember correctly, the copies used to be around £8, but I forget who was selling them.

The £10 suggested by Donald above, (posted?) would seem about right, therefore.

I'm sure there will be takers, although for anything other than target shooting and looks, I prefer not to use a hood. I don't really know why, but when I got my first Airsporter, it was decidedly second hand and minus the hood and I guess I got used to it. I actually bought an original hood direct from BSA but then couldn't get on with it in the field. Seemed to make target acquisition that crucial bit slower.

Ten quid?
The poor bugger is already subsisting on bread and water. I am sure he will be pleased to hear the news as it will mean the difference between dry white or wholemeal, tap or Perrier

I have a few Airsporters, none of them have a foresight hood - I personally don't like the look of them. Even the brand new ones I bought came without hoods (as far as I remember) if they did - they were never fitted and I couldn't tell you where they are!
