Is there a front sight upgrade available somewhere for a Daisy 880/901? I'm looking for a thinner option that gives more precision at greater ranges than what comes from the factory. I was shooting at 1-inch solid color targets with the irons on my newly-resealed 880 and found that I could get about a 1-inch group at 25 yards. The target was so small compared to the front sight at 30, however, that I couldn't get a repeatable sight picture and it all went to *#$%. I know the front sight is removable, so there must be something out there to replace it with.
Thanks,
HA

Maybe somebody 3d prints something, but I'd just thin the original front sight down with a file.

I want to mount a globe sight on the front of my 880.

Have you considered the cmp daisy's? For $125 you might get all you are looking for.

Got one that allows you to change the front blade.

Mr. Geo Schoonmaker 3D printed me some LDC's with slots to mount the 753 front globe sight, but he isn't doing that sorta stuff anymore.
I will see if he will send me the files......

I'll be happy to post a front sight replacement with 3/8 dovetail mount with and without threads for LDC. I can probably get that posted to thingiverse tonight.

Here's the 3/8 Dovetail sight for the 880.

If anyone wants it in 11mm or other options let me know.

Looks good !
Do you know how high the sight line is on this critter?
Or, what rear sight it should be used with?

It should work for this type of sight https://www.airgundepot.com/daisy-globe-front-sight-insert.html (https://www.airgundepot.com/daisy-globe-front-sight-insert.html)
I will add other versions with cross dovetail for mounting other sights like https://www.amazon.com/HIVIZ-8-Inch-Dovetail-5-Inch-height/dp/B002APKBBQ (https://www.amazon.com/HIVIZ-8-Inch-Dovetail-5-Inch-height/dp/B002APKBBQ)
As for the height the one I linked is 10.4mm from the bore centerline to the top of the dovetail. If anyone wants other heights they can let me know.
OK, I loaded two more cross dovetail versions to the same thingiverse listing.

This looks like exactly what I've been looking for! I will try to get someone local to print one for me. Thanks so much!
