FWB 601 Rear sight Question

Post by dsaptarshi »

Hi, I was under impression that the factory sight that came with my FWB 601 is not interchangeble with any diopter sight , means I cannot mount any diopter sight with existing rear sight and that is fixed, but I just saw an picture in GB where a diopter sight is mounted in FWB 601 standard factory site , also in Feinwerkbau sight they are selling diopter sight (Article no 1780.960.3 iris diopter disc , adj from 0.5mm to 3.0 mm )and mentioning their compatibility with 601. My question is any idea how someone can mount a diopter sight in FWB standard rear sight ? can this done in home or any special tool or any special skill is required to do this ?

picture for reference in support of my statement

A FWB rear sight will accept any diopter or iris that is made to fit any of the anschutz sights. Just screw it in nothing special. FWB sights do have a different size dovetail than anschutz so you can't put a FWB rear sight on an anschutz.
