I've just ordered a spare seal set for my 6004 and was assured that they were identical to the 604.
I'm curious about this rear sight issue.
This seems to be the main grudge against the 6004.
Nothing has been mentioned about its overall reliability and accuracy and these are the things that interest me.
I suspect Candle man is correct.
The "new inferior to old" is an argument prevalent in many fields, especially motoring and it's usually unfounded.
I've been using my 6004 for quite a while now and have not experienced one single issue.
It certainly performs just as well as the 604 I owned in the late 80s.
The rear sight on mine has undergone a series of adjustments without issue.
Honestly I didn't mean to open a can of worms here and had no idea of the hostility I was going to be bombarded with simply for expressing an opinion.
Based on my actual experience of owning and using this great pistol I'd say its equal to its predecessor in every way and is still the great target pistol it once was.
I suspect the people who are going to spit nails at me for daring to suggest that do not have any ownership experience themselves.
