According to PA, Crosman just rejected the latest batch and the shipment to Crosman will be delayed until 12/28/2012 and the projected availability date at PA will be 1/7/2013.

i am thinking of doing what fivestar45 said
chop off the rear section of the steel breech and use the stock sight

fivestar45
if you do that is there enough adjustment to sight in properly?

It would be fairly easy to file down the steel breech, but to me it would be self-defeating.  The main purpose of the steel breech is to have better sights and I do not really want to use the old ones.

I'll have the Williams WGRS-54 peep sights in a couple of days.  Maybe they will work out.

i see a lot of people use them with good sucess
they used to be the craze,i dont know when the lpa became the craze maybe when no one could get them any more i guess

That WGRS54 is a rifle sight, and with a pistol barrel I'd think it might shoot very  high and require a very high front sight to compensate.
I wouldn't advise you to use the 1701P gripframe without using the flat bottom striker to go with it.

The OEM 22xx rear sight works just as it should, and has the same range of adjustment as long as you cut the flat on top of the steel breech to be the same height measurement that you get when measuring from the bottom of the tube to the sight flat of a plastic breech.

im using a 1701 trigger group an most of my guns
in one gun i have the 1701 hammer,another gun has a custom hammer but it does not have a flat bottom and the other is a phase 2 1377 hammer assembly.so far all of them work great.the phase 2 1377 hammer needs more jbweld added to it but i wanted to use the gun so i just installed it the way it was modded but there is still a small lip that i want to cover.actually the 1701 hammer i have has flat sides the bottom is still rounded

I do not understand "flat bottom striker" could you please elaborate?  I have the same thing as in the picture that 1377x just posted, except I cut a notch in the top of the hammer to clear the rear mounted breech screw.  Thank you.

I like the OEM sight best to be honest, just would be nice to have an alloy one or a brass one too. Hint Hint  ;)

I think is is nice to just upgrade the materials sometimes as I do like the standard look.
