S&W 77a parts

[jabberwoki]

Hi al, i have a sweet S&W 77A but it`s missing the sight ramp #11065 on the parts diagram.
No help from S&W.
Was wondering if anybody here had any ideas?
Thanks, Steve.

Try GTA member Mike Baker in Az.

Yeah, Mike might have one.  If not, see if he can suggest an alternate that would work on that rifle.

That site uses a 'single ramp', i.e., the ramp goes in a slot in the rear site.  Most of the Benjamin and Sheridan sites are 'double ramp', which puts the ramps on the outside of the site.  My terminology may not be quite proper, but you get the idea.  In which case, I'd look for old Crosman rifles that used a single ramp, seems like the 180's did, and probably other models as well.  Daisy's I'm not familiar with, so maybe, maybe not.  There might be some fitting involved, but I wouldn't think much more than a little filing.  More likely to find those than an original S&W.  And if you just want to shoot it, it's all you would need.

A sight ramp from a newer Crosman 760 should do the trick. 

Here's a pic.  It's .103" wide, so some sanding may be necessary.

No bueno with Mike so i`ve ordered the Crosman part , we`ll see how that works out.
Thanks for the suggestion.

   I have an S & W 77a, too. It is a beauty & a great shooter. I never liked those small ramps & they are easily lost. I use a tiny drop or 2 of Super Glue in areas that are hard to see, to glue those on.
