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?)

All jb is is epoxy with a  metal filler.Just heat it up (about 600 degres ) and it will pop lose.If it is a tight fit I may use locktite :).
I got a new Mark II for my wife and kids... I think it was a pretty good trade.

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.

I had the LPA MIM in my cart at Pyramyd Air for a long time. Then they raised the price and I started kicking myself for not buying it already. But the system let me go ahead and checkout at the original price.

I called Crosman to see if they could ship the sight thru USPS since it would cost so much for ground, but they said no. If PA don't get them in before long I may just pay the extra $16 and order from Crosman.

Rumor has it if you call Crosman and ask for the Custom Shop, parts you can order that sight for only $4.00 shipping, rumor has it.
We need to keep going and have fun doing it.

I received the sight today with the rest of my parts order.  I have not mounted it yet, but it looks to be perfectly constructed and fits the dovetail notch exactly.

good deal Art... the MIM is a nice piece of work, go slow finding/tightening the two mini socket heads that lock into the dovetail, they are straight on thru the holes when it's loose but tend to move off center a lil as the base moves/swings  into place, it's just how the design works.

Apparently it's just a rumor. I called the custom shop and was told they only ship UPS and the shipping cost starts at over $10. The actual shipping to me is $15.52.

Sorry late to the party..

I have a Williams WGRS on my "mostly stock" 1377.

i modified the factory front sight by adding 3/32" of JBweld type epoxy to the top of the blade
and then shaped it with a file....not too much pressure
Still going strong 3000+ pellets and 2 years later.

I have used this pistol in the CAPOF matches
A search on this forum and the tech section should  turn up a description of how I made this extension.

I have received 3 shipments from Crosman since September and all 3 came USPS. Mayby they changed their policy on shipping.

Same here, parts orders that included 3 sets of grips, and another that had 3 ea of the 2289 pumper handles, not exactly "flat" letter like pkgs and all were USPS $4 type shipments.
