Where do I find one of those?
Pyramid Air has an inexpensive one.

I prefer all metal for my vintage Crosmans, so I used this one, which also has a good selection of inserts.
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/857325/williams-target-globe-front-sight-with-10-inserts-less-attaching-base-steel-blue
The description for this one sounds like it's all blued steel, but just the inserts and thumbscrew are steel. The body is anodized aluminum.
In either case, you need to devise a way to mount it. I made a simple brass dovetail that screwed to the barrel with the front sight screw, and then attached the sight to the dovetail.

Here are some shots with Benji Hollow points at 20 yards, rested on my window seal. Not one flyer out of this gun.

Decided I like the polished look of the other 160 in this forum. I have always been a fan of silver, SS or nickle finishes, so today I polished her up.

Got my original valve back today, (thanks Precision Pellet). Putting it in woke the beast in this gun. It sounds twice as loud, and the pellets seam to zip through things a lot better. I did some 25 yrd groups to try to get use to these sights.
