Yes aperture.
Two of my air rifles have the aforementioned front tunnel sights.
FWB601 and HW35.

Don’t preach to me about for what this forum is intended.

Re: Rear Iris

I have rear iris on three air rifles. I had one on my M16 and my Garand too. I grew up with one on my Daisy Model 25 (I am 77 very soon). The one on my FWB601 is a Gehman but someone had to tell me about it. I have always ignored the rear iris regardless of the size as your eye will automatically fi...

Re: Fresnel Lenses, Cataract Surgery, and Sight Picture

I don’t know about the MEC lenses but I had cataract surgery a couple of years ago. My surgeon was just back from the desert where he treated combat wounded. He asked what my hobbies were? I said I shoot air rifles, hunt big game and shoot varmints at very long ranges. I told him my friend in Kansas...

Re: FWB 600-603

The o-ring/seal kit cost me $30.00 delivered.
So how about $25.00 to you in First Class mail?

That is why I was not interested.
I brought the spam attack to the attention of the moderator.

Re: FWB 600-603

How much are you asking for it? John, It is not a complete rebuild kit just some o-rings. I ordered from that guy in Canada. Everything but the piston seal. I am having my rifle rebuilt. If I don’t need them after that, I won’t be asking much.. I will keep you in mind. I also ordered an exhaust val...

Re: Empty pellet tin use?

I use them on my work bench while disassembling item to hold small parts and to hold used cleaning patches while doing maintenance. I also use them to hold original stock parts when I upgrade items, wrap blue tape around them and mark the firearm on it and stack them on a shelf. Put a magnetic stri...

FWB 600-603

I bought a used 601.
It was fine for a few shots.
I ordered parts.
But now I sent it off for a re-build.
If you still shoot the 600-603 and need a rebuild kit, let me know..
