Advice on open sights please

[paulhardwick]

Hi all, I have a Walther dioptre rear sight on it's way for my HW77, what front sight would people suggest, when I get able to put pics up I will put some up, my good friend Shing Chan (possibly the number 2 or 3 best knifemaker in the country) suggested it could do with a note that read "bluing by Mercedes", with a green laminate stock on it, it is a very sexy airgun

I'd suggest you get the Weihrauch front post with the five standard inserts.

or the full set, but you likely already have part of it

Thread 'WEIHRAUCH HW77K WITH DIOPTER SIGHTS'

May 6, 2026

I bought my new HW77K with the pure intention of keeping it for open sight target shooting.
There is much confusion out there regarding fitting diopter sights, depending on what Mk 77 you have... so let's go..!
This a 2025/6 mk3 which I bought new.

The rifle out of the box shoots like a dream, bar the normal expected twang but there are future plans to tune it.
So let's get the important details in first then add the phots.
The foresight rail on a 2025/6 HW77K measures 8.5 - 9mm with a machined Creep Stop (dead handy for an un-tuned 11.1 FPE Springer).
The route I'm opting...

Front sight will depend on discipline...though a plain flat topped blade is plenty nuff accurate at diopter ranges, for most any type shooting you could throw at it.

If you want a ring front sight consider a perspex one as they are very clear and you can see a lot more around the target too.
