Getting into open sight springer shooting.
Sights are ok on the old 52 but could do with
fore sight hood for better sight picture.
I could be asking for something that does not exist or
has anyone machined a 52 foresight ramp to take s hood?
Many thanks

Had three 52’s now.Originally Posted by ikarma70
2 came with opens sights fitted fore and aft.
The other one was a carbine version with no fore sight and a slim silencer fitted.

The 52 and 48 never had a foresight hood. The foresight would slide up and down on a graduated ramp incorporated in the shroud that fitted over the barrel. Mach 1.5

Apologies for my typo I meant to type foresight hood.

I know they were available in the USA through Pyramidair but
believe it was a short run of a custom made kit adapting the ramp sight.
Pity….
