Title: Beeman P17 Rear Sight Green Fiber Optic Missing
Post by: josixpack on April 15, 2015, 02:39:16 PM

I have two Beeman P17 and on my original one, some how the rear sight green fiber optic broke and fell out. 

Any idea where to get a replacement?  I emailed Beeman but haven't heard anything back yet.

Thanks!

You could try a local gun dealer or gunsmith to see if they have any rod that size. Other options are ebay or online sporting goods dealers.

Thanks, I'll give your suggestions a try if I don't hear back from Beeman.

I have some fiber optic rod somewhere.  What diameter rod do you need?  I will check anyways  and repost later.  As for replacing it one needs to just cut it a little longer than needed then melt the ends so it won't slide out.

That's an easy one. Rip all the open sights off and install a nice red dot! You will thank yourself later.
