Industry Brand rear sight on a 1377

[Tater]

I've ran a pretty good search on this but I'm still unclear. Does anyone know if this sight http://www.archerairguns.com/Rear-Field-Sight-p/aarfsight.htm needs modification when used on a 1377 with steel breech? I have ordered a 760 barrel band but I have no idea if it is a late model band or earlier version.

Should work no problem, though it's possible the front sight might need modding.  Steve Archer's a nice guy, and if you give him a call he might be able to answer your question regarding the front sight.  He's not, in his own words, a pistol guy.  That's why he doesn't sell them. RC

I`ve been mithering over this for a week now, Ebay,specialist sites,Mims units, everything i can think of but they are, for me, too expensive. Then it hit me. Over here we have a cheap and cheerful make of gun, SMK, they make a suprisingly nice(I think) underlever called a DB4.It has a standard version with both sights forwrd of the stock. BUT they also do a "deluxe" version too. It has a rear sight way back just above the trigger.Guess what?....it fits on the 11mm scope rail!!!! available as a spare part for.......£10......result, i`m looking for a picture but i can`t really find one,but it`s elevation and windage adjustable just thought you might like a heads up on an alternative to more expensive kit....

Note.....£10 is about $426 at current exchange rates.........

took one off a B3 and made a quick pic, it does fit but the blade seems a bit high

thats what has been reported recently.a higher front sight will be needed

Very nice looking piece there Brutuz.     
You know, after I posted I realized the 760 band probably doesn't have a front sight on it so I'm not sure what I will end up doing.
For the price, that rear sight doesn't look too bad. Are the adjustments fine and accurate and would you recommend it?

[Brutuz]

Just a quick check if it fits, it does fit

Haven't tested it, could be worth a try, but instead of investing in the sight only it could be worth the money to source a cheap B3 incl. the sight ??

you could drill and tap the barrel band and put a screw in it or drill a hole put some glue/epoxy put a peg in the glue shave it down until desire sight in has been reached.for stuff like that i like to use that gasket sealer for automobile windshields thats sticky black stuff can have many different uses

what?

That's probably what I will end up doing for now 1377x. I'm hoping to get a TKO for it sometime this winter and I'll have to figure something else out. A red dot might be the ticket too, but I've never even looked through one so I'm not sure I'd like it.

sorry, my attempt at humo(u)r at 10.30pm......

nothing better than looking through a dot.i look at it as my pupil and shoot both eyes open.i have taken out moving targets like that
now that crosshairs has shown us a great low profile adapter for the weaver and picatinny rail i might have to try out a relex sight,which is a "red dot" without the tube
