Hi all,

I just aquired a scruffy but sound Anglo sure shot Britannia with the early flip up 2 leaf rearsights with the intention of fitting a no'19 ring & bead front sight and no8 rearsight as I think it'd make an awesome combo. (sn.1153, .177 with the awkward trigger adjustment hole side position)

I have the sights and I'll need to extend the frontsight dovetail to accept the no.19 and I'm assuming drill and tap two holes in the cylinder to bolt the No.8 rearsight to it.

I just checked the accuracy today with the original sights and it's pretty good, so probably worth the peepsight conversion.
I might epoxy the peepsights in place just to check how the setup improves accuracy before doing anything irreversible, I'm quite confident it could make a vintage supergun though...

I know people have fitted Lyman or BSA peepsights to Britannia's before, are they all bolted into drilled & tapped holes in the cylinder?

It's quite a scary prospect but it's the reason I bought it....

Cheers,
Matt
