I don`t want to install a longer barrel on my 1377... I want to replace the flimsy plastic barrel band/sight  for a steel band with the same barrel length . I will be using a scope so I don`t care for the  front sight .
Anybody have ideas  on where to get it ? thanks

I only know of a couple of options, none cheap so open you pockets wide  ;D

Michael is a reputable guy, lots of us here on the forum have purchased from him.

From the UK, nice parts, ships quick but the exchange rate is a killer!

Man... those red anodized sighted bands from Michael Chavka are absolutely beautiful ... it would go great with my red anodized trigger shoe ... but the amount of money ($53.00) is out of the question .  I understand the kind of work and detail put on it , but it is simply too expensive . I wonder if he sells them easily ... I have not seen anything even remotely close to those , but still ... is just that  the idea of buying a small part that cost as much as the entire gun is difficult to dig in my old fashion brain

IMO, they are worth every cent. Great stuff, they all fit right in and improves the pumping factor like you wouldn't believe (if that makes sense). I just wish they made a cool 2240 band as well  :o

I that due to the extra stability? Smoother to pump?

I can see where my $58 1377 will be a tinkers dream.  So many beautiful parts available for it.

Lol! You need to use the macro setting for close up shots like that Ed.

that is macro setting
its the shaking that makes it out of focus
when filming through the scope i forgot about the macro setting but when i usw it today i'll be sure to turn on macro
