I've done a search, found nothing. I'm putting a Williams peep on the gun and have taken the rear sight off. I thought I saw somewhere a cover that would hide that little post and the d & t holes that show. Any help or ideas?? Thanks..............the Mailman

If you see one (Beeman sold them too) you will see how easy it is to make one.

+1 for Tim E.
If he is still making them he does good work. I have three of his covers. The post should just pull out.
A cheap alternative is to melt some navy/black crayon into the holes. A little heat and they can be emptied at a later date.

elegant but it does cover the holes. Black electricians tape works, isn't too obvious, it's cheap and comes off without leaving a mess.

I will be taking mine off too soon. What size are the screw holes? I was thinking I could finds some screw plugs to use, like the ones that come on D&T factory guns.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'm taking a break from breaking it in as we speak (?). I put the original back on, minus the actual notched sight and the elevation knob. It doesn't look half bad! I'm going to see if I can find a little allen screw to fill the hole where the knob was. If not, I can live with it as is. What's there sits well below the line of sight....the Williams sits up pretty high to get my 10m zero.
I should also mention that the gun felt great right out of the box and it might be a while before I quit shooting it long enough to take some pics. Thanks again........................the Mailman
