Does anyone know where to find the fibre optic replacement tubes for the Umarex Octane front sight ? Also does anyone know the diameter of the tube? I'm considering purchasing this rifle only if I can find replacement tubes that I can make fit. I've done some research on these rifles and the front sight is prone to breakage because it doesn't have a protective hood.
I saw some fibre optic shotgun sights at WM I'm not sure of the diameter but I'm thinking maybe I could make those work .
Would the front sight be covered under the 3 year warranty? I would not like having to send it to Umarex for repair just for a replacement.
Anyone with personal knowledge of the Umarex Octane 22 cal please share your experience. I have to make a decision in the next 48 hours .
How good is Umarex customer service and parts availability? How good are they doing warranty repairs?

I have the Fuel, not the Octane, but they have the same front fiber optic sight and after seeing those same replacements at WM, I personally think they'll either fit just fine or maybe take a dab of superglue to hold one in rather than the crazy expense of shipping my rifle off to Umarex if it ever breaks.
Reports vary on Umarex customer service from very good to people getting damaged guns back, so I'd try those WM replacements first. As far as the 3 year warranty, I don't honestly know if it's transferable or if it ends when the original owner sells the rifle, so something else you might want to look into.
