I have just built up a Hawk and got a few new sights for them, which is the short ones on pic. Think I have seen the square type in your pic on a Spanish make rifle at some stage.

Evening all. In my quest for my next ‘collectable’ BSA project I inadvertently acquired a Webley Hawk in a sorryish state, and it has this foresight fitted. I’ve started doing some homework on the rifle regarding parts etc’ and learned that it’s not the correct one for any of the three Mo’s so wondered if anyone might know what it’s from originally? Or maybe it’s a generic aftermarket replacement??

Any help appreciated.
All help, advice and wrist slaps gratefully received.
Most sales open to swaps for older BSA’s, projects and or incomplete/bits. Currently quietly developing a hankering for a nice S10 BBK………..

BE AN INDEPENDENT THINKER, DON'T FOLLOW THE CROWD
Agree. Looks too square to be a Webley.
Maybe a 50s/60s (but not 70s/80s) Gamo or Norica? Or something E European of similar vintage?
There have been some pictures of Osprey Supertargets with front sight bases with square features similar to that.
Found this thread now, with icture of a similar front sight:

This turned up with a google search, and is claimed to be a hawk mk3 sight:
So perhaps Webley fitted these front sights with square looking bases at some time to the Hawk and Osprey?
Too many airguns!
Thanks for that. Maybe it is the right one for my Hawk mk3 after all then. Just surprised that they’d turn out something so bulky and hideous to grace the prow………

All the Osprey ST ones I’ve seen have the upper assembly/hood fitted with a big screw that isn’t present here.
