    HW99s / Plugging open sight holes

    Hi all.

    I've recently purchased a SFS HW999s Imp and I was just wondering what the best method would be to plug up the 2 holes where the open sites used to be. I was thinking of just buying some small black screws to plug up the holes and was just wondering where the best place would be to buy a couple that would fit. Also, I personally think that brass screws would look good, but again, where would you buy them from?

    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated lads,

    I use the little black plastic caps that cover the knots in the elastic which hold the scope covers together.

    You could go for black grub screws, either slotted or hex head as you prefer. Not sure on size but could check mine later if it helps and give a supplier link.

    I used black Milliput two part epoxy putty.

    Put it in and smooth over the top.

    It dries hard.
