FWB Sport headaches ... continued

The Sportsmatch mount I mentioned doesn't have a pin.

Chris, that looks familiar on the damage, though mine isn't as bad. Looks like I'm going to have to do some improvising to solve the scope mount issue. For now, it really is nice shooting the Sport without the scope mount hassle. The Williams peep hasn't budged at all, so keeping my fingers crossed. If it does slip, I'll just go back to the factory open sights, which I do like.

Is there any reason why a guy or girl could put a small drop or 4 of red loc tite in the scope rail  dove tail grove on each side (not on any threads). And mount the scope  once the loc Tite sets it would be like a glue to help prevent the mount from sliding back .     Maybe just a little dab will do ya.   4 small drops front rear left and front rear right .

You may have to knock it free if you need to remove the scope mount a light tap tends to do .

The groves in the receiver are NOT designed for ring base stop pins but are intended for ring base cross bolt clearance.  JMHO

Deer Stalker suggested "The grooves in the receiver are NOT designed for ring base stop pins but are intended for ring base cross bolt clearance."

This is true on the FWB 300S where the rear sight is secured on the dovetails by tightening a transverse screw through the sight.  The grooves in the 300S receiver serve two purposes; 1) to provide cross bolt or cross screw clearance and 2) to prevent the sight from sliding.  That cross bolt has an extremely precise fit in those grooves with pretty much 100% contact.

However, the Sportsmatch mount clearly has a transverse recoil arresting pin inserted in the base.  The pin is unrelated to the 4 screws in the base which are not even visible on the underside.  The pin is clearly designed to arrest any movement of the base under recoil and MUST fit into one of the transvers grooves on the receiver in order to properly attach the mount.  The problem is not with the FWB grooves but with Sportsmatch's sloppy fit of that pin in the receiver grooves.

HW95 stop pin holes in receiver.  The SportsMatch rings, T04C https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/scope-mounts/sportsmatch-t04c-2-pc-1-inch-medium-scope-mounts/, have stop pin in rear ring that fits this type stop pin hole.



My HW95L with Hawke tactical 2 piece medium rings with a stop pin in rear ring.

The mounts at Pyramid, P-Y-A 5263, are the Sportsman TO3C.
