Original Mod 5 foresight

[eredel]

I bought the aforesaid foresight off the bay and fitted it last night.
It came with the round hole element in as Phils did and shooting it by positioning the round hole in the rearsight notch I was getting all in the the black so sightline has not been altered drastically.
I now need to decide which post width Anschutz element to purchase.

Be careful about over tightening.

Mine didn't last very long before splitting.

Hard to say whether it was a poor example, or poor design.

A nice straight post should be the best, but make sure you have a decent gap on each side.

Kind regards,



Phil

I understand where you're coming from about tightening as it's only a "plasticy" material but I had to tighten up fairly hard as it's a lively springer.
I'll sight up on the "hole" then judge how much to narrow and order a couple of elements in the range I judge to be about enough light either side "ifs ya know wot I means".

Just an update....ordered 4 post elements for the foresight this evening from Intershoot, 2mm to 3.4mm so think I've got the range I'll need covered!
I thought I may as well get a selection as they're only £2.50 each and if I'd decided at a later date I wanted other sizes the postage would have spoiled the fun.
I'll see which one suits when they arrive and post my findings on the offchance that someone may be interested....

It's always wise to have a range, especially if they are cheap enough.

Kind regards,
