Is there a chart for sight inserts and their diameters?

[Stinger177]

I'm ending up with a lot of used guns lately that have front globes but no inserts. Hard enough to tell what brand they are, but what's even more frustrating is that although I can measure what the insert diameter should be, none of them are listed with that statistic. All they say is "fits Anschutz" or "made for Lyman such and such model" , or Redfield, Gehmann, FWB..on and on, but NO Physical Dimension!!

Does anyone know where I can find a list of inserts by size?

Yeah, I'm just  little frustrated.......sorry.

 Maybe call the OEM  to ask about which brand name and model number sights they use, and..........part numbers to their sight inserts. Or call someone who sells globe sight inserts and ask them to measure the insert diameter of various globe inserts.

 Check the rifle parts list as maybe the globe insert part number can be found on the list.
 
 Good luck Sam.

Thanks Sam.

The most recent model gun in particular is a Beeman/Marksman 0035. I got a deal on two of them and they both came to me with no inserts. Guns are made by Norica, but no longer made and parts not available anywhere.

Thing is, I'm making my own plastic inserts so I can make one to fit, but I have the blanks cut to diameter by a laser cutter at my plastic supplier. I'm ending up with about four different diameters now for all my different guns. I was just hoping to find something off-the-shelf that I could fit in there and get them shooting. Deal with the custom plastic ones later.

These 0035's are little monsters so I really don't want to spend a whole lot of time on them just to get them going. They supposedly shoot well but the triggers give me a new level of "BAD" , "HORRIBLE" trigger to reference to.

Thanks Yogi. I'll check it out.

If you'll measure the ID of your sights I'll measure the OD of some of my FWB inserts to see if they will work.

That's very kind of you Justin. These guns are cheap little mutts of a Beeman/Marksman/Norica mixed breed. I think they are hardly deserving of an insert that belongs on a beautiful Freulein.

But, for the record, the inside diameter is .630" (16mm). I would be wanting two complete sets of them as I managed to acquire two of these little monsters. I call them "little" because they were cheap at $50 apiece. Monsters because they've been haunting me since I placed the bid for them.

Anyway, I would rather see you keep your nice FWB's. I can always make some clear inserts for them.

Thanks again for the offer.

Dennis
