Gday mate,

that is not a problem. U can use a Parker Hale style front block on the barrel and remove the tunnel as required. If you spend a little more, u can get a mcRorie or Sinclair front sight which would be easier in my opinion.

Ok then cheers mate. That makes life easier. Ok then forgive the total newbie question which is next. What parts for the sights both front and rear would I need to make this a Fullbore rifle. Also total cost would be much help.

U need a central sight for the rear. Ask around at the club or at the rifle assoc store as someone will have one spare....even on this site if u ask around. Expect to pay about $100. That will give you elev/windage adjustment with a peep sight.

The front sight can be fixed (like a parker hale) with rings in the front. OR it can be adjustable in height (like the Sinclair/McRorie). This gives u adjustment in the front and rear sights - basically allows u to keep your head in a pretty consistent position should you not have an ajustable cheekpiece on the stock.

My advice to you would be to get along to your local club and ask for assistance. I'm sure you will get the help you need. The other WA shooters over here should be able to help too. Good luck \:D/

I had a look at the Sinclair website and I found their front sights. For the Match Rifle one which seems to be the exact one that I would need for what I want, its only $135.50 USD, so around $170 AUD w/o shipping. It doesnt look to complex, which I like. I'll seriously have a look at this, Once I get the rifle, that is. :lol: Whats a good rear sight worth, or would a Parker Hale type be fine coupled with this?
