Doesn't Crosman make "slide on" (to the muzzle) plastic foresights? They are supposed to be cheap enough and should not require any permanent mod... But it's a post type sight and one would need to check what diameter barrel it is designed to fit...

Excellent choice if you can find one in good nick. Just bear in mind that FWB made the same rifle in .177" and .22" calibre but labeled them differently. The 124 is .22" cal and the 127 is .177" cal.

Other recommended break barrels would be the HW80K and HW95K.

Just an update, finally got a FWB-124 Sports model in pristine condition. :D Classified ads in airguns.net really worked well, :wink: however I have to collect it from a FFL dealer located 50 miles away from my home :evil: also have to pay him 25$ as shipping and handling charge which can be easily avoided, anyway I am still happy with my purchase, The rifle is in pristine condition , the bluing is original and almost spotless, Rifling is as like new, It comes with a beautiful walnut stock with checkering pistol grip, fixed front sight and adjustable rear sight. I will post some pics shortly.

Thanks again to all of you for sharing your valuable comments and feedback on this topic.

Regards
