Since the 470 TH is a ways out, and from what I understand, outrageously expensive, there has to be an alternative.

I was curious who in this crowd of tuning gurus has come up with a way to replace the crappy plastic factory-issued front sight and cocking-barrel locking piece with something similar to what the new 470TH has coming out. I have contacted two tuners that said it couldn't be done. Is this REALLY true?

Example:

If you could get the part NO. of the 470 one it might be able to be ordered, GINB do custom parts, have a look at these Diana bits.
I have now got use to the plastic bits on my 460 and dont mind them but I know what you mean.

A quick search shows they did some stocks at some point, but I don't find a site. Happen to have one?

Thanks for the info, I can't get any details on the 470, let alone schematics/part numbers.

Who made those metal parts in the pics?

Try, http://ginb.it/contatti.php?lang=en

Anyone have any of these products?

Impressions/Prices ?

I have not personally, but they are thought to be one of the best for custom parts and stocks.I have heard they have a dedicated team working for them,top quality stuff.
Try some research,perhaps someone hear has used them.
I would like some parts from them myself but I bought a new laptop yesterday, so my toys will have to wait for a while.

if I end up ordering, I'll post here if anyone wants to combine on the international order.

Thanks

Rich in Mich used to have metal muzzle brakes/lever holders for Gamo CFX's to replace the plastic one. Maybe what they meant is it isn't profitable for them.

he was one of the individuals that said it couldn't be modified.

It would be so much easier to order a 470 part if it was available. I may contact RUAG and see if it is available or if it will be in the future.

He said the 470 break will not work on the 460. Not clear on why, and I wish it weren't so, as the 460 version is a real wart.

Here's the basic gist of what I got back from them on this:

>> Further note Sir that barrel and system mod. 460 / 470 are one unit and because this fact only the barrel could not be changed.


What a load of crap to be honest! I've been a die-hard RWS fan for a couple of decades now and this is a joke that it can't be removed. I simply don't buy it, why else would there be an allen-screw on the front sight? There has to be a way for it to be removed, they don't manufacture them that way!

I emailed Diana today asking the same question and if they could give me a part no, so I suppose I will get the same answer.

We will have to get a few of us 460 fans to order from GINB to make it worth there while, just a idea.

Last price I heard on the 470 TH was over $800 which is insane!!

There HAS to be another alternative, just a matter of digging it up!
