FWB sight rail conversion

Post by badwrench5150 »

My Son has an 2017 FWB800x and he dislikes the Vario Sight it came with. I want to buy the Tec Hro precise rear sight but the FWB Rail version is backordered forever it seems.

Are there risers that will convert the OEM FWB rear sight rail dove tail to an Anschutz deminsion rail? Or a replacement rail of Anschutz deminsion that is flat and will bolt down to the original sight carrier?

Newbie oppologies as I'm just a Dad trying to learn this sport.

Wrench -

I use the Centra "Track Max" 4mm offset risers front & rear on my FWB 2700 Alu; it has allowed me to mount many sight combinations on the rifle, both Anschutz & Tec-Hro. I use the plain-Jane, low end base Tec-Hro sight for smallbore.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for helping a newbie! I'll look those up tonight. On the same subject but different rifle, I have discovered through a few observations lately that I will also need risers for his 2700 FWB SM too. maybe theseyou mentioned will help there too.

Is the 4mm track block new? I thought the Track Max was 22mm. Or did you mean you'd added 4mm to the base height.

These are what I use; they add approximately 4mm of rise to my sight line, plus the ability to offset it by quite a bit more:

Those look a lot like the standard 9mm high track blocks.

These are Track Max blocks: http://www.edinkillie.co.uk/ecatalog/ce ... Path=44_21
