22xx front sight for TKO moderator

22Plinker · May 29, 2021, 09:10:22 PM

2300KT -22 cal. Inexpensive front sight using original front blade sight, set screw & epoxy on 10" Crosman barrel.
Carefully ream out till it fits snug on barrel. Just slide it back enough to secure TKO. I did not glue in place.
The small set screw allows perfect sight picture with plenty of adjustment for Williams notch rear sight.

Nice! I'm running the same moderator on my 1322. It's at least 75% quieter, though the owner told me his 6.5" really hits the sweet spot.

Well done! A neat & effective solution.

Does the use of the moderator affect velocity ?

I was trying to think of a front Crosman sight that has a set screw holding it on the barrel, and then I realized the set screw is glued onto the sight blade to give you the extra height you needed for the Williams sight! I thought the set screw was what was holding the front sight in place, but as you said, it's just a tight fit on the reamed out plastic. Only taken me two weeks to gain enlightenment! Great mod!
