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?

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

That certainly sound reasonable. However, that's how the scope is
mounted on my RWS. I wouldn't say that rifle gets "heavy use", but it
has dispatched quite a few garden rabbits over the years. Still
shoots right where I aim it, out to 150 ft or so anyway. Rifle go
pop, rabbit faw down.

And, yet, that's the normal attachment: the receiver instead of the
barrel.

That's why the grooving is on the receiver.

By using a standard mount, an airgun scope/aimpoint is easily mounted and
zeroed.

However, you might want to fabricate clamp-style mounts for a long-eye-
relief (pistol) scope by bending 4 strips of metal so that the spacing is
uniform, the bends match the OD of the scope barrel and the rifle barrel,
and use a machine screw/wingnut combination in the middle.

That'd be the simplest way to get a mount that would meet your stated
requirement.

Have you tried these guys?

I have a Beeman R7 which I outfitted with a cheap 4x15 scope off
a 22 rifle. No problems with the scope for a few thousand shots
and counting.
It's sighted for about 30 feet and I can consistently hit aspirins
at that range. Dozens of gophers in my front yard have given their
eyes to my pellets when they stuck their damn heads up out of
the holes.

Don't fire it without a pellet. Plays hell with the seal, in some
cases, and with the front of the piston, in others. Universally a bad
thing to do to anything that you want to last.

ANY markings?

Without any markings at all, you could have just about anything, and
may well have something gloatable. :-)


Missing the rear sight.

Bryan and Assosciates, Mac1 Airguns, Beemans. Fun Supply Airguns,
Airguns of Arizona, etc. All should be able to set you up with something
that'll work. Parts for the Chicom stuff are pretty cheap, but you
likely have something that will work, in your gun junk.
Since none of those sort of parts is "universal", yer gonna have to do
a little work, unless you can find a model number and go from there.

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

DAGS for Chambers Gunmakers. In the UK. Scots I think. They have a
selection of exploded drawings that may help ID the rifle in question.
Pictures are good!

Yah...I could make one from scratch...I AM a chip maker of dubious

Yep. Get one rated for airguns, then you have a higher chance of it
lasting for a while. The harsher recoiling springers are harder on a
scope than those that are smoother, but they are all hard on scopes. The
forces are ass backwards to rifle recoil and it plays hell with the
adjustment mechanism inside the scope, as well as putting a walloping on
the crosshair "wires".

Ill be checking this weekend. The weekend I got it I simply stuck it
in a corner and went out and sighted in the 39 Marlin that I got some
months ago and had installed a Lyman peep sight on.

Shoots as well as I remembered they did. VBG!!!

Ayup...I blew the crosshairs on a Feinwerkbau rifle..er the crosshairs
on a Nikon 4x, brand new one at that, before someone told me about the
reverse recoil. Nikon gave me a new one and told me it wasnt rated for
air rifle use. It now lives on my 375 H&H and has many hundreds of
rounds fired.

Did you get one of the ones with the micro-groove rifling, or did you
get one of the good ones from before that came along? :-)

I spent a lot of time packing an early Marlin 39 around the hills of
my home area!

Long barrel, peep sight on that one, too.

Too bad it was lost in a fire.

Once you have some idea of the markings, you will be able to sort out
your needs pretty quick.
IIRC the rear sight on most of the Chinese airguns is more a sheet
metal bending job, than a machine shop job. Whacking a dovetail on so it
will take a ghost ring type rear peep or a peep for a 22 would be pretty
easy, though.

I've seen a lot of Chinese springer airguns, and I've never yet seen
one that was not made of plain old steel.

Some of the finish work was in a range between bad, and worse, but the
steel was still steel.

Yeah. Micro groove os OK for the rimfires. :-)

The 39 Mountie models are pretty sweet. About the only thing I have
that genuinely amounts to a bad thing to say about the model 39 is that
you can make a mess of your trigger finger, catching it between the
lever and the tip of the trigger, if you get a little too enthused about
a fast follow up shot. That one hurt for a long time!

But I figure I put nearly my body weight in 22 shells though that old
Marlin that I was using (it was not mine, but my step fathers)and it
never missed a beat.

And accurate!

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?

I've bought this sight to use on CZ 452 .22cal.-

For a $30.00 sight it is nicely made (aluminum) and works quite well
as a cheap alternative to a scope.

that's a good price on a decent sight.

I search far and wide to find a decent sight that would work.
Most aperture sight cost a $100 at least. For $30 that is a damn good
deal.
