The hood is just a piece of steel tubing from the metal bin at Home Depot, 3/4" or 5/8" OD, don't recall. I cut a slit in it to slide it down over the blade. And cold blued it.I was thinking about sticking it on with JB weld.Also thought about making one from brass tubing and soldering it on, but I fear messing up the whole front sight, barrel, and tube solder bond.Plus, that would all have to be refinnished somehow.
tomkay12, the stock and forearm have been modified from original.Some details are here: http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=53399.0
CW, that is an awesome set up on that 'Dan. Don't suppose you would happen to know or could possibly find out the specifics of that front globe sight?Particularly.....is it readily available as shown or was it modified to fit as shown. Part # or manufacturer?
