Brownells Gunsmith Tech Corner - January 2005
By Tony Barnes
Question: I’ve been thinking about getting a new Ithaca barrel. I’d like
to buy a non-ribbed
barrel with a rifle sight on it, but I'm just not exactly sure of what
I want.
Could you let me know what some of my options are?
Answer: We carry the
Shotgun
Cantilever Scope Mounting Base for a non-ribbed Ithaca
barrel. To mount
this, you would have to solder a steel base on to the barrel and
then attach
the scope base mounts directly on that. If you decide to go with
a ribbed barrel,
the
Universal
Cantilever Rib Mount will work great. It requires no gunsmith
installation
and allows you to mount the scope directly on the
barrel.
Question: I'm trying to locate a "peep sight"
that will fit
an RWS Model 34 air rifle. I understand that the scope mount on
this rifle is
11mm. I can't seem to find any peep sights with specs that state
for sure that
it will fit this rifle...or an 11mm scope mount. Does Brownells offer
any peeps
sights that will fit the Model 34?
Answer: Yes we do. The Williams
Krag Foolproof Receiver Sights are for airguns and clamp
right onto the
dovetail and should fit nicely. For rings, you can use the Millett
Angle-Loc Rings.
