AA Firepower rearsight

[Gareth W-B]

If in doubt what site is needed, or where to get one, send a p-m to my old friend Pad.E, as if he don't know, no one will.

Dougbunny - on mine there's a threaded hole (approx. M5) on the right hand side of the action, positioned 25mm in front of the leading edge of the loading tap.

Gareth - now that you've mentioned Pad.E I seem to recall him being a leading light on all things Jackal based. I shall have to contact him for some useful info and tips.

I may be wrong but I have a feeling that Jon Budd has recently been investigating the Hi Power models pro's and cons. Do you have any useful insights that you may be able to pass on Jon?

Many thanks guys, Clogger

Mine is the Air Arms version. The peephole rearsight screws into the hole in the end of the large vertical transverse pin that secures the end block (and in it's opposite end has the spring for the trigger return).

All I did with mine is find a mainspring that properly fitted the inbuilt guide, then made a suitable piston sleave to take up the slack from an old plastic container (as it was a fair bit smaller that the original). O new o-ring on the head, relube, and job done, twang free. The piston is quite light (around 200g), which would normally be too bouncy in a 27.5mm cylinder, but the lost volume of a tap loader balances that out.

Hi Chris. Do you still have the rear sight?
I've only recently bought an early Sussex Armoury Hi Power with scope and foresight, but no rear sight. If it's still available I would be more than willing to pay you for it.

Hi Mate,

Just PM your address and I'll stick it in the post - no need to pay (maybe pop a donation in to the next help for heroes collection you see)

Cheers

Chris
