    Original 35

    A friend of mine and all round good guy kindly gave me an Original 35 (1978) today. It's just right for restoration and complete except for any open sights.
    Does anybody have a front and/or rear sight for it, or know where to get them from?
    Cheers, Paul.
    PS Thanks Pete!

    Chambers. But prepare to weep at the price....

    I think you might do better putting a wanted ad on here and play the waiting game to be honest.

    Also, keep an eye out on ebay as airgun bits turn up on there quite regularly now.

    If you look very closely Gareth he actually wrote "ripoffauctionscum" but due to the wonders of the human brain you unconsciously translated it into the name of a famous auction website.
