Webley Osprey Supertarget Army; which sight?

[hwtyger]

What Williams type did they use for the army version? The 5D-AG?:

I believe it was the FP-AG-TK, the one with the click-adjustable turret adjusters.

[hwtyger]

Not necessarily, mine doesnt have the click adjustable sight. Screw only. And its ex webley museum so should be 'correct'.
Maybe different versions were used?

Like Hens Teeth in the UK.

The one pictured in Chris Thrale’s book had the target knobs. So, yes, looks like it.

I know. Took me ages to find one. In use, so sorry not for sale.

Is the one with click adjusters rare? Or the Army version in general?

Just very difficult to obtain in the UK. Most US stockists will not ship overseas.

Did the Osprey use the Williams sight for high or low line of sight? Anyone knows?
Ive seen a few for sale (5D-AG) but all for high line of sight

I assume you're after the Williams sight to make an exact replica, but if you ever fancy it, a Parker Hale PH5E on a Mauser mount bolts very securely to the Osprey using a 2BA bolt into the trigger adjusting screw hole. Because the curve of the mount matches the curve of the Osprey cylinder, one bolt holds it quite securely (though I have drilled for two in the past).

[hwtyger]

Yr correct, Im making another Osprey Supertarget.
Ok, so PH fits, but how about adjustment range? (especially height)

[bill57]

I use it with a PH front sight mounted on the standard Supertarget mounting block, or a homemade one using a PH medium mounting stool.



Adjustment range is absolutely fine, below is it zeroed at 30 yards.
