Chicom Pellet rifle rear sight needed Gunner 06-04-2008

 I was browsing through a local second hand store, and found a Chinese
(one assumes) break barrel .177 pellet gun. Interesting one...looks
a lot like a RWS 350, but without the checkering. Decent monte carlo
stock, full sized length of pull. Safety is inside the trigger guard
Strong! spring and a very loud Crack! when fired without a pellet,
moved much dirt on the floor. In very good shape. Surprisingly
comfortable to pull to shoulder and get a stock weld. Much different
than prior Chicom air guns Ive handled

Missing the rear sight.

Anyone know where to find one? Ive kinda sorta browsed the net
without finding a parts source.

Yah...I could make one from scratch...I AM a chip maker of dubious
talents..but would rather spend my time shooting it.

Anyone put a scope on their break barrel and pull the rear sight?

Interesting second hand store, lots of old tools, anvils,
blacksmithing, farming etc etc stuff.

He bought out a sword/knife dealer...lots of Chinese/fantasy/Barbarian
swords etc

I was rooting around in his backroom (we are well aquainted) and
stumbled across what I think is a Paul Chen katana. Exceptionally
well made compared to most fo the Chinese junk wall hanger swords, in
its own cardboard tube and silk sword case, with
sharpening/maintaining kit....except for that slight bend in the blade
about 18" from the tip....which I pointed out to him. Looks to be hand
forged, but not laminated, decent enough hamon but back of blade not
well executed. (Ill try to straighten it between dowel pegs this
weekend...if it breaks it was garbage anyways...shrug might make a
decent wakazasi.

So we agreed on $25 for both the sword and pellet rifle..but I
digress...


Any ideas about a rear sight?

Is it a regular dovetail rear sight? Maybe a gunsmith will have one just
laying around that he took off a gun to make room for a scope mount.

Brownells?

If you break the sword make a sight out of a piece of it.

Don't know about a scope, but an aimpoint or a laser sight might be fun.

If you try a scope get one made for airguns. The unique jump of a spring
piston gun supposedly does bad things to a conventional rifle scope.
Something to do with how the reticule reset after a shot.

Might be a good idea to check in alt.sport.air-guns and see what those guys
say.

Hummmm!

Problem with those...pellet guns tend to have the trajectory of a pig
jumping over a picket fence..so aming range tends to be short for a
lazer..though there is hold over.

Flat on top only or flat on top and both sides?

Many airguns, today, are flat on top with a dovetail groove on each side to
take an airgun-style clamp-on scope/aimpoint/laser sight. (The dovetail
runs the length of the receiver instead of perpendicular to the receiver.)

A short stop at a Wal-Mart will give you an idea of how these things attach
since they carry both airguns and airgun scopes/mounts.

Flat on top of the barrel. Im not a big fan of putting a optical
sight on top of something not firmly attached to the tube the
projectile comes out of.

Break action spring guns come to mind as one of the major cases.

That barrel gets even a bit wobbly, doesnt lock up to the receiver
each and every time the same way...that optical sight is worthless
