Otherwise I'd look to fit a sight from something else (ruger mkii for example). Here's that site..https://www.jgairguns.biz/96-c-78_186_243/dai96fs-front-sight-p-3979.html

In my experience (others here have much more than I do) I have found rifled barrels do not give good accuracy with bbs. If you want to hit anything with bbs at over 10 feet away, you're going to need a smoothbore.
If you are lucky enough, you can find an early 880 with a smoothbore barrel... very accurate. I think accuracy with BBs is attained at no more than 450 fps. I dare you guys to try shooting your pumpers at around that speed and compare groups. so far every pumper i have tried has grouped better at lower pumps (say 4 or 5). groups seem to open up after that (generally i test at 15 yards, as i find it a useable range for plinking and pesting). my most accurate BB gun is a lego forearm 760 pumpmaster. Using Daisy precision Max BBs at 5 pumps i can do groups under 1 inch at said distance). My second accurate BB gun was a crosman scout 788. essentially a smaller version of the 760. Cute gun, but a lucky soul bought it from me at the last airgun show. Pistol wise, the brodax, no contender...
