Fiber Optic Front Sight Repair Kit Fits Many Air Rifles.

New at Archer Airguns is a repair kit for fiber optic front sights.

If you have broken fiber optic front sights or are worried about them breaking, this kit could be for you!

This repair kit provides parts and instructions for repairing broken fiber optic front sight elements on many air rifles. It has been tested to work with most Umarex air rifles such as the Octane, with most Ruger air rifles including the Air Hawk, with Beeman RS-2 air rifles and many Crosman air rifles such as the Optimus and 760 models. It also fits the QB78 Deluxe.

The photo below shows the typical appearance of front sights that can be repaired with this kit.



Nine fiber optic rods are included as - given the exposed nature of these front sights - it’s likely that their fiber optic elements will be broken repeatedly!

The high quality fiber optic rods included in this kit are much brighter than the factory originals. They also make it possible for you to change the color of a fiber optic front sight if you don’t like the factory color. Red, orange and green rods all are included in this kit.

Note that each rod will be suitable for making two repairs on short front sights, such as those fitted to the Ruger Air Hawk and Beeman RS2 air rifles.



The only tools required are a controllable heat source, such as a lighter, and small end cutters.

With the Archer Airguns Repair Kit for Fiber Optic Front Sights, you will be able to change quickly and easily from this...



to this, with bright red, green or orange fiber optic elements.

Archer Airguns XMV Tune Kit Also Fits the Umarex Octane.

In answer to several emails, I can confirm that the Archer Airguns XMV Tune Kit fits the Umarex Octane airgun, in addition to the Ruger Blackhawk, Ruger Air Hawk and Ruger Air magnum air rifles.



The XMV Tune Kit provides high quality replacement breech seals for these air rifles, together with three precision stainless steel shims that can be used to precisely set the position of the breech seal for optimum performance. Even more important, it also gives comprehensive, yet simple, instructions for determining if your air rifle needs its breech seal shimmed as well as how to undertake this simple upgrade.

As you would expect, Archer Airguns XMV Tune and Pellet Kit also works with the Umarex Octane, although just in .177 caliber as that is the caliber of the pellets supplied in this kit.
