Title: LPA MIM SIGHT GONE FROM CUSTOM SHOP PAGES
Post by: BDS on July 26, 2012, 12:07:46 AM
Yup, first it was "out of stock" on the accessories page, now, it's no longer a choice/selection under the Optics tab on the custom shop pages  ???

Guess my 2300KT will be in "limbo land" until something happens at Crosman QC dept. about the latest shipment of these MIM sights that were rejected or...  :(

I agree, and that would be stand-up service. RC

This is the sight that comes with the 2300S.  Very nice and has great click adjustment knobs.  Nice crisp notch.  It requires an 11mm dovetail for mounting but that's not an issue unless you don't have a steel breech.  It's one of the best aftermarket target sights I've seen.

One concern might be it's size.  It's very large and protrudes from both sides of the pistol far enough that you have to be careful when you set your gun down.

I really hope they get some more MIM's, I really like mine, and I don't need to adjust it with knobs once I have it screwed down well. Nice and simple. I could get used to a Williams tho.

Good suggestion on the Williams Sights, they are always high quality.

I'm hoping to get the MIM sight issue resolved this week, we shall see...  ???

I've been waiting for mine of a month now. Am starting to lose hope. Their website now says "cannot order". Wish I knew what the problem is. they've been selling/installing this sight for years.

Same here, my order date was June 25.

Word is/was that the MIM sights (made in Italy by LPA) were rejected at Crosman's receiving inspection dept. Also, there has been a shortage of the steel breeches too, which coincides with the intro of the 1377 and 1322 "play-packs" that have been for sale on the Crosman site.

So... MIM sight probs + breeches + ?? other stuff = no 2300KT for me for now  :(

Still, I have my other 20+ airguns so... I'll shutup now!  :D :-*

I got an email from Chuck this morning about the sight for my 2300KT (6 June order date).  There was/is a lot of scampering around over the sight problem. I rcvd my pistol a couple of days ago without the sight, I was bummed. Chuck has somehow come up with one and it went out via UPS today (I do have a tracking number). So maybe he has a couple of more in his pocket for the rest of you guys.

They're still showing up as "Not For Sale" on the parts page and not even listed in the Custom Shop choices for me.   I looked about 5 AM (Texas time) this morning after I saw your post and again just now and it was the same.  Not for sale or not listed.

It's it possible we're looking in two different places?

I have two LPA MIM's that came with some special orders.  Never mounted, I do not need them. PM me with questions or an offer. 

Both now sold.  I am glad they are going somewhere they can be useful. Thanks, Brad

I got one coming on the 2400, but it is coming right off and going on the 2300 (I ordered no optics for it).  I'm glad they are no longer holding up all the orders now.
