Hello,

I'd like to remove my front sight to install a stabilizer for the barrel. The crosman website has a parts diagram that indicates a screw holding the front sight on, but mine doesn't have one - maybe it's only on some years? Mine seems like it's in there very solidly. Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the sight without disassembling the whole gun? I don't want to apply too much force, but I even tried grabbing with needle nose pliers and it would not budge.

Any suggestions with this?

Thanks!

Hi There,

Mine (2007 model) just tapped out, there was no screw.

The sight normally holds in place by a slight interference fit with the outer barrel (sleeve) + it also locates in a slot in the top of the outer barrel.

Once off I found I could push the sight on & off by wearing thick gloves & pushing it off (I did have a big breakfast that day though :0) ).

Cheers,

Matt

i removed mine as did mattw975.... it will push out by hand if u have a working man's callouses:-)..... seriously, u can tap (on the ridges) w/a dowel or something that won't damage the sight.... if all ur doing is installing the shim then it s/b installed flush w/the barrel end.... if ur going to install a muzzle break plus reinstall the sight then the shim needs to be recessed.... hth.... good gunning, pops
