Hw98

Picked a used one up before Christmas, which has promise, still looking for the front sight solution, but the rifle has promise. Today i changed the spring in it, to one from a 177 97,which was way smaller than the 98 spring.
The rifle is now doing 7ftlb, & seems to like aa match/jsb orange(many thanks Russ/Phatman)pellets, & using a red dot sight i have been easily getting 10mm 5 shot groups, so the rifle has great promise, now this front sight problem......

Any suggestions ?

It seems that 3D printing will be the solution for this.

Have fun

Managed to find an adapter at Ant supplies, thanks to a link on the darkside, so have a front sight adapter on order

It arrived today, but is too small for the 98 barrel, & the sight grooves won't take an HW front sight, oh yeah also can't get the Williams peep sight up high enough....

I think you're right Russ - 3D printing opens up a whole new world for functional custom parts - they are not necessarily replicas of original parts due to design and material limitations but just a whole new practical approach. I've recently 3d printed new front sight elements for an unusual target rifle where the originals seem to be unobtainable, also a whole new globe sight/elements for my homemade laser training rifle.
