They did not have any in stock as of 8 Dec.  I had an unpleasant experience trying to order from them.  The price was $34.95, they have now raised it to $44.95.  As far as I can determine, the marketing people have no way of determining what is in stock in their warehouse.

I have also been unable to find an appropriate set screw.  The one that comes with the sight is just barely long enough.  I think filling the slot is a good idea - I'll try to find something to accomplish that.

Bill L...That flip up sight is for a 60deg dovetail. The OEM Crosman breech cut for the LPA sight is about 72-74 deg's. So be prepared to do some dressing to the breech dovetail. Let us know how it works out for you.

The LPA MIM is now available at Crosman.  I just made a phone order and they added it to my order (part#2300-010).  I told them that they were not available when I ordered a custom 2300.  The web site shipping charge was almost sixteen dollars, so I passed that up.

With the no-recoil 22xx guns these sights are going onto, how about installing with a dab of silicone RTV to take up a lil space in the 72 deg dovetail? It can be wiped clean/flush with the receiver surfaces while still un-cured, and disolved/pushed-out later if the sight needs to come out?  After all, we are only talking a few degrees over a very shallow area? :-*

JB Weld? Yikes!

Go with the silcone RTV, I would hate to try to bang that sight out of it's slot once the JB weld is there  :D  (or do you mean fill and machine back to 60 deg?)
