Wellllll... Maybe.. i think it's more to get it all good and seasoned... The more shots i go the better it seems to get not just 1200 and it's there... Then when ots at ots best the spring busts and tune time..lol

Beeman R9 Fiasco - Chapter Two
- Thread starter badger5th
- Start date
OK, I'll be paying attention to that. I am a bit sceptical that is the cause of the issue I'm having. In my first target I posted with the extreme stringing they were still staying on the black. If the front sight was "walking" I would think they would walk off the aiming black.

No the walking up the dovetail slope it's like adjusting the eleavation not windage .. as it goes up the "ramp" part of the dovetail end the post drops and causes you to aim higher or lower ?( or like that).
Then you get some vert stringing.. .
It took me a lot of shots and observation to discover that deal.. anyway id just move it as far forward as i could and lock it down make a index mark with a pencil and keep your eye on the mark for walking .. it all them little things you check and tweak as you go to get it stright and true ( any gun) . Like i say rome was not built in a Day. It took lots of shots and time to get mine in the right direction and a solid hitter at any yardage 10m to 100y on irons..
I like to call it the 3 P's

What is the importance of the middle photo? I know it's the rear sight.3 things you may watch.. the insert set thing screw can loosen.. my ne the big thing was the front globe walking up its dovetail you see what ot took to stop that .. it stays put on the end of the muzzle now .. then the rear can shift ..
The globe walking was the biggest issue . That weak flathead screw just cant hold it .. but a bolt and nail polish as glue and movment indicator ( if it cracks its moving) pit a stop to that and poi shifts.
First picture you see the globe walked up the dovetail and climbs the sloped part, not good ..

Would appear compared to Mo there, I'm a very lucky guy since I've had my HW95 .22 for 6 years and over 5000 shots now and the front globe on mine has never moved or had the screw loosen. If it does, I'd think a little Vibra Tite VC-3 or a dab of Blue Loctite 242 would cure that.
Still factory original too since it's never had anything done to it but an after market custom laminated stock I got for it last summer. Twang on mine faded and was gone in a little over 700 shots although I do have a kit for it when the day comes it will need to get done.

It can rock or be off from centered. Its pin fit but the hole in the sight is slightly bigger then the pin. If you loosen the screw that holdd it down you can wiggle the assembly left and right.. ya, the globe will move like a scope from recoil ... If they would of squared off the dovetail to act like a stop instead of tapering it so ot can creep up on to the round of the barrel..
One thig to can add is if you find one click is a tad too much one way or the other you can use that rear play to fine tune by bumping it left or right slightly to tweek the click adj. Cause you cant drift the front post to do it
Thing is you got to shoot and shoot and find whats the cause of the inconsistent.
No gun is the same but most fall under a like problem.
This may sound silly but i tighten the stock screws wile shooting a card at 10m. To insure the screws i tighten dont pull the poi off or off center of the centered sight adj. The trigger guard screws tend to be most critical then forarm. ( Opinion).

Follow up. Yup, my front sight assembly is hard against the rear end of the dovetail. The rear sight screws are both tight. The left to right sighting is dead on as best as I can tell. Only dealing with vertical stringing with open sights.

Thanks, I do check the screws. For poops and giggles I'm going to put one of my Hawke red dots on it and try it vs traditional open sights or a true optical scope. Badger

Yours has served you well. I imagine I'm still in the middle of the break in period on mine (about 300 shots so far).

Looked around a bit more regarding tech sights for an airgun. All tech sights I've been able to find are specific for a single model powder burner. Can't find a "generic" tech sight that could be dovetail or rail mounted.

Ya, i think your fine.. even with the new spring and seal i still had get shots in to smooth it out again / break in all over again .lol. With these guns its shoot, shoot ,shoot and keep tabs on the things that work loose from recoil or that little somthing that may need a tweak . Post some groups now and again on progress.. heck ill shoot along with ya for fun..

Tech sights work great on Weihrauchs as long as you don't have barrel droop. I did a big write up about them and barrel droop on the newer R9s and Hw95s. I've used the tech sights on my Hw30s, 50, 95 and R1.

Said I'd seem those Tech sites mentioned somewhere...lol.
And yep, my HW95 and Beeman R9 have served me very well. The 95 so well for 6 years now that it got the new laminated stock from Craftsman Vit it now sits in. Also have an R9 .20 that also has for the 3 years or so I've owned it and will someday get one too...lol.

This one. Order it over the phone and tell them you're using it for a Weihrauch and you don't need the front sight. They'll take ten bucks off and ship you just the rear sight. I had great service from them. Make sure you order the 5 dollar adjustment tool. It makes adjustments much easier.

Excellent, thanks! Will call them. All set for tools, I have several from other tech sights I've ordered

Yes I like the tech sights better than the Williams. I find the. 062 aperture perfect. The Williams 090 was to blurry for me and their 050 was too dark for general use. I did a really comprehensive review on the other forum. If you look up "great Weihrauch peep sight alternative" and my handle there on Google you'll find the whole review. You have my number. You can skip all that and call me anytime. The short answer is I like them a lot better.
