Several years ago, I purchased a B-3 177 rifle with a scope and want to remove the scope and install a rear sight. Can this be accomplished?

I believe you can. Mine came with a rear site factory installed and I added a scope. Can send pictures of site mounted if you send email address. Good luck, Ben.

probably not the receiver is too thin to drill for a sight mount however Lyman may have a rear sight assembly that would clamp to the scope mount groves on the receiver if you go not want to use the barrel mounted rear sight that comes with the rifle

My B-3 came with the rear sight and then I installed a scope. I used high rings so the rear sight could stay in place. Check with the seller of these rifles or do a search to see if a rear sight can be purchased for a B-3

I had no issue seeing the iron sights, so I don't see why you would need to modify the stock in anyway except to accommodate for a scope mount, which I just used a dremel to cut a small groove in the side.

Hi Kevin, depending on the construction of your .22 rifle, a gunsmith can probably install a scope rail to the receiver that will work. I wouldn't try to do that except with a gunsmith. Another thing is that the modification will probably take away from the value of the rifle for resale purposes. I have a .22 that is over 100 years old, owned by my grandmother, that shoots very well with iron sights at 100 yards. So I would not feel a need to put a scope on it.

You would need a mount adapter because the 92 has a rounded slide. There are some picatiny rail mounts online that replace your rear sight and use the dovetail to secure the rail with an optional third screw that can be tapped in toward the front. Google should get you right to them. I cannot remember the site. However, be advised that the bore axis will be higher than normal and may require hunting for the red dot. It still works but it takes a little getting used to.

Yes I have that setup and like it. However you cannot access the sight adjustment lock screws on the sight when it is mounted with the supplied hex wrench. I had to leave the lock scews loose, mount the sight and sight it in, then take the sight off lock the screws and the remount the sight. If I had a wrech with a shorter arm I could lossen and tightent the lock screws while the scope is mounted.

I would think if you had the predrilled holes on top of reciever the rear sight would fit. As for the front sight they all need to be silver soldered in place. But any good gunsmith can do that for about 30-50 dollars depending on where you are at

Yes you can remove the rear sights . This gun is amazing very powerfully and better than most other guns that range up in the $150-$200

Yes, you can remove the red dot and mount. Did not mount on AR, so unsure if configuration is better or not.

Yes, you have to remove the rear site but it is pretty easy to do. Just remove the set screw, and then tap it out of the dove tail mount.

yes you most certainly can but this scope is crappy and as i recall has no cross hairs or a dot or anything, but the scope is where the bb's are fed in so if you wanted to get a new one you couldn't.

Yes. The rear sight fits the 3/8" scope dovetail and the front sight screws into the same hole as the stock sight. I recommend permanent lock tite for the front screw. Also they're usually less expensive on the manufacturer website.

You have to take off the rear sight to put the rail in its place- so no you can't use the iron sights.I think the rail is about 6" long, but you can cut off any excess

Greetings. I believe your rifle is drilled and tapped for a scope. If it is you can install a weaver base which this will attach to without any modifications to the sight or rifle.

No... You will not be able to see through the bottom of the mount and use the sights as well as the scope. It is very quick to detatch and use irons as needed.

You'll have plenty of height for the rear sight and a 40mm scope, but obviously you'll have to remove the scope to use the sights.

No, you will not be able to use the rail and still see the iron sights. A set of Leupold 57323 rings will attach directly to the receiver and allow you to see the iron sights.
