    John Knibbs list one http://www.airgunspares.com/store/category/64/527/FWB/ , if you have a dovetail fixing rather than the "round the barrel " type.

    Yes it is the dovetail mount. I thought I was sorted when I found that one on the John Knibbs site, but no it is out of stock.

    Only had the rifle for a few days and it has a nice feel to it with a vintage scope mounted, but my plan was for open sights. Unfortunately the front sight was badly damaged and despite me attempting to repair it, it is still a mess. It was the old type with fixed post with a hood, but the hood was all deformed from being bashed onto something. Not sure if the dovetail will accept both this sight and the one with replaceable inserts that I have seen on other rifles?

    Thanks guys, the search continues...

    I have a sight from an FWB, it fits around the barrel , not dove tail . 15.77mm internal diameter

    Can't remember if it came off a 127 or 124

    does it have the crosspin /bolt ?

    I may be interested as missing one for mine... (and it's not going to fit the OPs dovetail mount)

    Thanks, but I’ll try and get one to fit the smaller dovetail on the barrel.
