Should it be the plain type, or the dimpled one ?
Also should the main foresight unit metal or plastic ? I think plastic..
I would stress this is for the RB2 version.
I have a few spare sights, and want to dress my new arrival in the correct foresight arrangement. Loverly gun BTW

Even better looking than a HW35
As above, dimpled hood and metal base, I'm sure it's only the lesser models that had the plastic base.

Yes you're right Jon, not sure where he's got that photo from but that looks like an early Airsporter front sight to me.

Nice to see a mk1, I should have an early model in my collection really.

Ahh, Right Pete!
I've an RB2k and a taploading Stuttie but never had a Stutzen RB2!
Hmmm, My RB2k had a round hood fitted on the early pics, It's not there on the more recent ones!, Probably in the bottom of the gunslip!!

That's the sort of thing mate, although the Stutzen doesn't have the barrel weight.Ahh, Right Pete!

With reference to FORE SIGHT hood for a RB2 Stutzen, i have two of them new in orig boxes and both have the smooth finish to them not dimpled
Also a RB2 Air sporter .25 cal. also smooth metal finish.Taking into account these are early serial numbers, first year production 1992 it would be quite normal i would think for B.S.A.to put dimpled ones on later models as i have found on a later 635 magnum.

Thanks Roly,
that's handy as I have a smooth hood, although all the foresight units I have are all plastic.. halfway there..

I think Roly is correct, the dimpled hoods I have, all seem to be on my Mercury's especially the S models.
I've just checked my RB2 carbine and it has a smooth hood but defo a metal front sight and they came on the rifle, I think I was getting a little confused regarding my Airsporter carbine S, as I now remember that coming with no sights and I bought all the front sight parts from Protek, so I ended up with a dimpled hood.
