I found the tru glow front sight fits and works great on weihrauch rifles. Yes it's plastic, but works great.

HW 35D iron sight tricks.
- Thread starter JDR
- Start date
If you use a true 6 o'clock hold it never does.
Then with that you know on true / real air gun sight adjustment that 1 click is 1/10mm at 10m and 4 clicks is the distance between each Ring. Easy peasy

Wow that "Precihole" site from India is VERY interesting! The aperture sights are beautiful, and the prices are unbelievable (the US dollar is worth about EIGHTY rupees).
HW's front sight is limited by the small selection of front inserts that have always come with it. Except for the one ring element they are intended for a "6 o'clock hold," which frankly I suck at. As far as I know, no one else makes metal inserts that fit the HW sight.
These old Anschutz front tunnels were used on their guns for many years and fit perfectly on Weihrauchs. Usually easy to find on The Bay etc., and not too expensive. Not only was a much larger selection of factory inserts made (pic shows only a partial set), but they are slightly larger in diameter, which enables a huge variety of aftermarket stuff to fit. I use this tunnel on several HW rifles.
Here are the range of adjustable front irises that Gehmann makes. The "M.18" sizes fit the Anschutz tunnel.

the problem with the washer looking circle inserts is the circle hides most everything , hard to know just which target your aiming at.Wow that "Precihole" site from India is VERY interesting!

Most of the clear inserts in this link are made for sight tunnels with 18mm or 22mm threads on the securing sleeve, which are the two standard sizes used on modern match rifles. They won't fit HW sights, which use a smaller 17mm thread. The 18mm clear inserts WILL fit the Anschutz tunnel I mentioned elsewhere.
History time: the 17mm thread was the standard used on match airguns in the 1950's and 60's; first developed by Walther, and later picked up by HW and Diana. HW and Diana use it on their sporter rifles to this day, but aftermarket match accessories are no longer made for it.

Yep - finding the target may be one reason later match sights use bigger tunnels, LOL! And the HW ring insert has a small opening and a fat ring which don't help. Not a big issue for me, but everyone's taste will vary of course.
Note that some of the Gehmann gadgets allow you to adjust the thickness of the ring's border which is pretty cool.
