    Do you mean the actual sight assemblies, or the inserts?

    They are closed on Mondays, but otherwise exceptionally helpful and generally great.

    There’s always the E B A Y option, or call round the 10M specialists (e.g. Checkmate Guns) - who knows what some of them may have in the back of the stockroom. And there may be members on here with a few they can spare, too.

    I have a nice 16mm Perspex front element with a 3.4mm hole that will fit a 300.
    If you want it pm me your address and I’ll pop it in the post.

    zeroscore,

    I got my FWB perspex inserts from Nikkonos on BayOfFlea.

    I now use Centra High End glass elements - these screw directly in the FWB tunnel : I use them on my FWB300 (not 'S') and 300SU, and they work a treat :

    There is also a chappie here on 'BBS - harvey_s, that makes custom perspex sight elements to order.

    Have fun

    Best regards

    Russ

    Hi mate sorry for the delay in replying I had to double check the size, they are definitely 18mm and fit my foresight perfectly.
    Mine is a never modified and owned from new club gun, that I managed to pick up when they were migrating to PCP for the 10m shooting.

    Per your original question...the OEM factory metal inserts fit on an internal "shoulder" which is independent of the sleeve size. I recently learned FWB inserts are actually identical to vintage Diana and Walther ones. Rather counter-intuitive (Walther and Diana sights are M17's and the FWB an M18), but I verified they do indeed interchange just fine. Hopefully this will widen your search field; you can still buy new sets for Diana sights.

    Ah, seems this will only fit my 150 then.

    Cheers,
