The supplied moderator wasn’t really up to much, its just too small, so had this 28mm x 110mm carbon one built along with an adaptor to fit the internal threads on the shroud

Ha...thanks for that !The site is a bit random, I got no order confirmation or shipping update, but was shipped within a couple days and arrived in the UK in under 2 weeks
Yeah, I was wondering. Then again, their pricing isn't enough to be too concerned about !

Had fun at the range Friday, think I’m going to try a small pistol scope and start to plinking out to 50m, seen a UTG Acushot 2-7x32 that looks decent

Received the sight adapter (and some of their magnets) today.
Visually well done. And it's anodized aluminum...NOT plastic. But...the three hold down holes and counter sunk holes were off center of the guns threaded locations.
Luckily, the counter sunk pockets are large enough, to allow some ovaling of the main hole in the adapter to allow the screws to fit though to the guns receiver holes without further problems. The hole location for the cocking pin is well placed and snug. All good there.
Also, the pins for locating the sight are a little loose in the sight base (I know they are the correct diameter). But the countersunk screws provided, locates the sight straight and tight.
Overall, plenty usable for what it's designed for.
I like the sight placement over being on the barrel shroud also.
With the above comments, I would recommend this sight to anyone having an AP16 and would like the sight (weight) moved back over the hand.

P.s. - Don't forget a little oil here and there once the receiver top is off of the receiver block. Greatly helps the cocking effort.

Picked up this cheapo Guntuff 2-7x32 scope from JS Ramsbottom in the UK, must say I’m pretty impressed with it for £37 and a little birdie told me it’s exactly the same as old BSA Edge scope. Thought I would try this before committing to something a bit nicer like a Burris or a Leupold

Here's my #2, AP16 with a Burris scope.
I don't have a picture of my #1, AP16 with the new sight location yet. Maybe today.

Nice, I’ve never had a proper scope on a pistol before, so wanted to try something cheaper before committing to paying loads more for something more high end

And my newly, sight relocated AP16.
I like the rear mount location. Among other things, it removes weight (a tiny bit !) from ahead of my hand, to right above my hand for better balance.

Thanks.Nice, I’ve never had a proper scope on a pistol before, so wanted to try something cheaper before committing to paying loads more for something more high end
I did this kind of on a whim. This scope is actually a "Scout scope". Made to mount way out out on "Scout" style rifles. Just happens to have the same or VERY similar guts to a pistol scope. The rings, no idea why or where I bought them. Just happened to...have them in stock !
One BIG reason to...NOT...sell things immediately, when you aren't using it/them. It may come in handy later.
Kinda difficult to get used to, but I'm getting better with it.

Picked up a sweet BKL mount
It cost more than the scope and at full price you could buy 2 of scopes for one of the mounts. But when I do find a Burris or Leupold scope I’ll have a mount that’s worthy

Kinda surprising, with the heavy duty look of the lower part of the mount, that the rings are only a single fastener (per side) ring !
Most quality rings are at least of the double fastener (per side) ring design.
Nice in any case., good find.

I've got a Burris scope on one of my pistols and a cp 2x20 on another. Cp is discontinued but pretty sure it's the same as the edge as well. No issues with it. The Burris is a bit clearer, but not by a lot. Is it worth the extra $? Probably. I'm sure the build quality is better, and it'll likely last forever.

Yeah, not much of a scope user, but the Burris is nice for an inexpensive scope.
The view (lenses) is clear, the recital lines are crisp and clean once adjusted. I guess that's about all that you can ask for, right ? And...it stands up to the pounding of a .22 PCP pistol !!!! Though I bought it to go on a .308 scout rifle.

The mighty Ruski Hand Cannon got a new scope, I spent ages looking for a Burris or Leupold, but nothing ever appeared, so gone for a UTG Accushot 2-7x32, unlike the cheapo scope this has a illuminated BDC reticle, so that should aid me in even long range shooting with it.
The really nice BKL mount is too long for the scope, so that will go up for sale, I’ve used the stock mounts and a UTG rail, but I will get lower mounts to help get the scope closer to the bore axis

The two cock and shoot pistols are not a fair comparison to the semi auto, unless you are comparing only barrel accuracy.
