Help Please re FWB 127 Sport incl front and rear sights

[gingernut]

Lack of sights should be reflected in the price.

But if you don't intend to shoot with open sights it shouldn't put you off buying it.

I recently bought a good 127 with a silencer and an 80s Japanese scope.
The barrel was shortened too.
So no point in worrying about open sights as couldn't fit them anyway.

The two types of rear sight:

Also, IMO the ultimate scope mount is the Apel o/p - they do occasionally appear at airgun fairs and on here for sale.

IIRC there are two different types of foresight mounting too.. one has a crosspin that sits into a recess laterally accross the top of the muzzle; the other not.

Thats correct and unlike the rear sights which are interchangeable the foresight units are not.

On the subjects of sights and mounts, does anyone have a photo of the scope mount specifically for FWB's. I purchased a project rifle before Christmas and with it was a scope mount with a cross pin, held with an 'R' clip which appeared to me as an FWB style mount. Since the demise of photobucket, I've stopped saving photo's to the net, but if anyone wants to view photos of the mounts to give an opinion or could post their own photos for verification.

use imgur.com
I tried for the first time a few days ago on recomendations from folks here, and it's easier to use, and without the spam...

Specific FWB mount has a cross pin fitted.The Sport has cross cut groves instead of an arrestor hole on the rail.

You can, of course, tap the roll pin out on a FWB Apel o/p mount and use it on a 11mm HW.
