    Tommy Open Sights

    Interesting to see that Webley India do the Tommy now with open sights but use the flat breech block like webley used on the stingray and exocet to place the rearsight. To be honest I think you may struggle to use a rearsight on a Tommy. I'd use one of his little brothers instead.. Mach 1.5

    I think you may be right sir re the stocks cheekpiece height.

    Oh well I may have to use my original 52 for the competition.

    Thankyou all for your idea’s and suggestions!!!

    I'm wondering if you could use a couple of sling swivel clamps mounted upside down in front of the breech to mount a rearsight to, Andy ?




    All the best Mick

    Hey mick, as Mach 1.5 said, I struggle looking through a scope on low mounts the cheekpiece is so high.

    Someone used a scope mount drilled/tapped to take rear sight. Gives height OK. Can't remember rifle tho'.

    Raiser blocks

    A couple of Sportsmatch AB3 arrestor/ mount raiser blocks might do the job if a HW77 rear sight block would fit them. They'd maybe give you the height you need although the early Tommie cheek piece is a tad high so even if they do the job stock wise maybe not ideal.
    Always on the look out for Brum / Venom - Webley Longbow / Tommie rifles and parts.
