Bob,

I use the Gehmann 590 sights on a few of my rifles (HW30S, HW99S, & HW95 SuperMatch).

The clamping on the 590's is designed for rimfires/PCPs, so is not as 'fierce' as is needed on a 'full-power' springer

I have drilled and tapped the mount body of these sights, to take an M3 bolt to engage in the arrestor holes in the HWs cylinders - works very nicely

The issue with the 'fully milled' Anschutz 6xxx sights, is that the base is split lengthways, so is very difficult to fit an arrestor bolt.

( However, I have an Anschutz 6502 'fully-milled' on my Anschutz 335 Mk2, and so far, touch wood, it has not moved/slipped yet.)

The 'cast' Anschutz sights (e.g. on late model Webley Mk3 SuperTargets) do have a facility for use of an arrestor bolt.

Have fun

Best regards

Russ

Thanks for the info Russ.

The Anschutz sight that I have on my HW30S is a really tight fit and has simply never budged during use.

It is such a tight fit that I have to "encourage it" to slide along the cylinder dovetails to get it into position, and taking it off again needs the same process in reverse!

I was given this "left handed" sight by Robin Carter some years ago and have always enjoyed using it. The "left handed" bit only means that the windage adjusting knob is on the left hand side rather than being mounted on the regular right hand side, and to be honest in use it makes no difference to me whatsoever - but if it was mounted on a rifle used for prone shooting then it probably would be a bit less helpful as I am right handed!

Funnily enough I have another rear sight on my Walther LGM-2 that also has the windage knob mounted on the left hand side - it is a "Swiss Made Elite 201". This is a lovely looking rear sight that I really like and it suites the LGM-2 a treat, but I have only ever seen one other and that also had the windage adjustor on the left hand side so maybe that's the way they were made?

The Gehmann 590 is a really good well made sight that I use on my Walther LG300XT ProTouch and it would be nice to fit one to my HW99S and tap the body as you suggest to fit a grub screw to use as the "arrester".

Interestingly enough I see that you can also order a left handed Gehmann 590 (see the link below) but it costs an extra £15 to have the windage knob mounted on the left hand side!
