I have to admit it, the airgun I have used the most the past couple of years is an old Crossman AR looking thing I picked up for $5 at a yard sale 19 years ago. I have used it mainly while my kids were shooting BB guns. For years before I got a manual on line I pumped the bejeebers out of it only to find it was supposed to be a one pump gun. Still is minute of soda can at 15 yards and minute of Little Green Army Man at 7 so no harm no foul I guess.
I like to pretend pellets are more accurate but loading BBs is easier than using the harmonica magazine. (I recently bought three spare harmonic strips, but the back seat of my truck seems to have eaten them.)
Anyhow the rear sight was gone when I got it and it had no magazine strip. I found a magazine strip at Wal Mart or SPorts authority the next week end and taped a deprimed .45 Auto Rim case with the base darkened with felt tip marker in the carrying handle and plinked away merrily for years. I picked up one of those plastic friction "lock" adjustment Chinese toy scopes that looks like a colt scope, Cranked it to use as close as possible and mounted it in the carrying handle. The "Colt Scope" has a hole in the rail that I now use for the rear sight more often than the scope itself.
If no one complains about the lack of pictures I will save us all the embarrassment of having its image on THR.
Any how ......does anyone have ANY idea where I might find the rear sight and the screw that holds it in place? Anyone have a busted up one of those rifles that they might donate or sell cheaply to me?
