During my marathon P17 practice sessions, which so far have been a waste of pellets, I broke the front sight FI tube.  I was going to order a replacement piece of tube but I have no idea of what size it is and I'm not really sure what to order.
Any ideas  of what I should do besides buy another gun?

You broke what? The gun has a 1 year warranty on it. Is it less than 1 year since you purchased it? How about some pictures of the problem. Here is a parts break down on the P3. I can not find a parts list for the P17. And here is Beemans phone number. 1-800-227-2744.

I need the FI tube but don't know the size and not sure what to order.  Not really a warrantee issue.....

By "FI" I think he means the fiber optic piece.

Do you have a way of measuring the diameter of the fiber optic piece you need? I would try to get a hold of bluefork, here on the forum and see if he can help. He uses the fiber optic line on some of the front sights he makes. Another I might try would be 1377x, Ed. He might know where you can get the fiber optic line.

Ya Tater, where did I get FI?  Brain fart I guess.

No, Mr. MD I have no way to measure it.  I'll check with those guys, thanks.

How about Fiber Insert. I'll measure mine and get back to you.
OK, I measured my front sight and it measures 60 thousands diameter for the fiber optic piece.

I got the fiber optic tube from Speed Shooter and Mudducks measurements(front red .060) were right on and the tube fits great.
I also got the rear sight green tube since I had broken that the first day.  It is .030 .  Tubes were .50 - .60 per inch and I got them in a couple of days.
Looking good and shooting straight.

[BillK]

I only missed the targets not the shoot.
