Help Please re FWB 127 Sport incl front and rear sights

[Shed tuner]

IIRC there are two different types of foresight mounting too.. one has a crosspin that sits into a recess laterally accross the top of the muzzle; the other not.

Thats correct and unlike the rear sights which are interchangeable the foresight units are not.

On the subjects of sights and mounts, does anyone have a photo of the scope mount specifically for FWB's. I purchased a project rifle before Christmas and with it was a scope mount with a cross pin, held with an 'R' clip which appeared to me as an FWB style mount. Since the demise of photobucket, I've stopped saving photo's to the net, but if anyone wants to view photos of the mounts to give an opinion or could post their own photos for verification.

use imgur.com
I tried for the first time a few days ago on recomendations from folks here, and it's easier to use, and without the spam...

Specific FWB mount has a cross pin fitted.The Sport has cross cut groves instead of an arrestor hole on the rail.

You can, of course, tap the roll pin out on a FWB Apel o/p mount and use it on a 11mm HW.

The cross pin works on the FWB Sport and Webley Omega; well the Apel do. They are a good bit rarer than the drop pin HW ones. As the Apel Mounts do not have the best grip from the one clamp then the arrestor pin is quite important.

I wouldn't waste a cross pin on a HW35

I'm looking for another cross pin Apel example. I don't think the mounts discussed is an Apel though as they don't have a split pin.

The couple of sets of o/p Apel FWB/Webley that I own do have split cross pins.
