SMK 78 Bell Target
I have a spare rear that I bought new from ebay. Advertised as Air Arms, though there are no marks on it.
Works well, but I have since picked up the original Walther one.
Only used once and still in original box, I'd be happy to post it for £20 if you fancy it. I can post pics.
The front sights, however, are plastic and mine split on the first tightening so if avoid picking one of those up.
Kind regards,
Phil

Re: SMK 78 Bell Target
Thanks for the offer Phil , but I have a couple of rears its the front i'm stuck for the front sight is screw mounted so there's no rail for a front dioptre so it needs one like my "izzie" uses clamps onto the barrel or a barrel weight with a rail on it to take the foresight, atb, M.pmh wrote:I have a spare rear that I bought new from ebay.

Re: SMK 78 Bell Target
Would appreciate any advice for fitting a front dioptre sight their is no rail, existing sight just screws on. Barrel diameter = 15mm +/-, I am doing pretty well in practice with the existing open sight, but do intend to fit dioptres, atb, M

Re: SMK 78 Bell Target
I wonder if the Model 6G sight would fit, as these clamp around the barrel.

Re: SMK 78 Bell Target
Not sure Phil the "izzie" uses that system, but barrel diameter is 12.5mm, whilst the th78d barrel is 15mm diameter, and I have no idea of the diameter of the 6g barrel, or even if to small whether their would be enough meat on the sight to open it up to 15mm??. I can get from CZ a muzzle brake with dovetail, but its over £60 without carriage charges, ...mike...pmh wrote:I wonder if the Model 6G sight would fit, as these clamp around the barrel.

Re: SMK 78 Bell Target
I shall check my 6G shortly, but thinking about it, I doubt it is 15mm.
I am sure you could something machined for a lot less than you might think.

Re: SMK 78 Bell Target
I have now found a supplier for a muzzle extension (with dovetails) for about £15 so well happy, atb, M.

Re: SMK 78 Bell Target
Yes the muzzle ext will be fine I do wish i'd bought one of these rifles right from the start now, i'm getting great results, and very important I can shoot for long stints without rapid tiring from the weight of the rifle delighted, atb, M.

I have now fitted the dioptre sights, the muzzle extension with rails for the foresight is the one made for the AA s200 it has a 15mm barrel the same as the "78" I got mine from Chambers cost only £15. The rifle shoots very well, and will do the job for me as its light, recoilless, and accurate, 1 hole groups are the norm though sadly not always when i'm shooting it unsupported, it is the only rifle that I have been able to shoot for prolonged periods for some years so I am delighted with it. I have bought this purely for bell target, it is more than capable of consistently putting a .177 pellet through a 3/8 inch hole. Of course its not of the quality of a 10 mtr target rifle I would never suggest otherwise however the "78" can easily do the job at 6yd bell target. By the way with muzzle extension & dioptre sights cost rise to over £200 you can get a good working 10mtr target rifle for that so its not necessarily a cheap option buying the "78", but if like me you must have a lighter rifle for bell target then its a good option to keep you shooting, atb, M

Re: SMK 78 Bell Target
It is always worth hearing the suggestions and recommendations of other shooters.
Due to build, physical injury, etc, this is a sport where one size certainly doesn't fit all.
Kind regards,
Phil
