Once you get the parts fro Umarex... ask for Glenn. Just be aware you will need to sand down the front of your barrel to fit the break.

I don't know if you are trying to be sarcastic.
I asked why you did it. Curious if there was an operational reason. If you did it for cosmetic reasons, then don't poke at someone who asks...just that "you liked the look of it". You wouldn't like sarcastic answers to your questions, I'm sure.

I apologize but when you state, why? I took your comment as sarcasm. If you have a an RWS460 you will know why I have made the change. The rifle is a beauty with the stock and metal finish. even for a refurb. I just don't like the plastic site. This rifle shoots at 800FPS+ with a 14.3 grain pellet at 100yrds I can get a 3 inch group. This is my long range rifle so the iron sites were no longer needed. I have an RWS34 in .22 and RWS45 in.177 for iron site shooting, also good till 50+ yards.
I like the way it looks, just like the way you like Bill Murray's photo. Have a great day. Happy New year!

Umm... That looks like Andy Griffith and little Ronnie Howard to me, but I might be mistaken.
The 460 looks good without the front sight, in my opinion. I"m thinking about removing the front site on my XS25, but in my case, it's because I'm seeing a shadow of the front sight in my scope when I shoot, and while it doesn't actually block much, it's annoying.

Looks great Henry!! Shot a 460 last weekend with a bunch of GTAers. Everyone remarked on that front sight. It's huge and looks cheap on an awesome gun. I love what you've done bro.

A hollow, or 45-60 degree file job brings that front site right to the top of accuracy Joe. Old news there,,, as far as the mod to the Diana front sites.

WE...
On the other side of the fence...
Prefer to have a good set of sites, profiled, painted if you need, and ready to go, When that scope goes out. And they do...especially if you're hunting.
WE keep on.... "Function" over "Pretty"....
But I understand you're "pretty" tact... My McDermott or my Sneeky Pete...

We just may need to look into this .... that hideous front site on a dedicated Scoped rifle has to go !!
Thinking if we can remove the entire assembly without damage saving it for "Maybe one day " use, something Billet could be fabricated in it's place having perhaps some length and volume for some baffling added like the HW97

Son... I don't wanna be sitting in the field with you and your pretty, when it happens....
Edit: Just saw you're from the city. Guess you wouldn't know. Still. It won't be me.

OK guys, that's enough. Communicate via PM if you want, but don't ruin someone else's thread.
Don't call people names, son, or anything. That is how misunderstandings start and the thread goes south.

Threats even minor ones like that will not be tolerated on this site. Any more threats and I will ask for that person to be looked at by admin for threating any members on this forum. It has happened once before since I have been here and that person was swiftly banned.
You do not threaten people esp not on this forum, one of my pet peeves.
Sorry Harry but felt like that needed to be said. Edit if you would like
