Can I put a Williams FP-AG-TK on my Beeman R7 without doing anything to the stock front sight?
Beeman Beeman R7 Peep?

I have one on a HW30 and it works fine with the factory front sight. R7 is the same gun except for the stock.

Me too.
I much prefer it to the Williams. Its a much sturdy and more compact design that you never have to fuss with to get to stay put. Its idiot proof design that fits me well.
Oh And, it also doesn't interfere with the safety.

Yes. What jccams said. I had this one on a Hw 30 Laminate for a while but the high comb made it a struggle for me to get comfortably low enough to see them. I ended up scoping it and gave it to my boys. It now resides on my RWS 45 and works well.

I can endorse both the Williams FP-AG and the Tech Sight. My old fingers find the latter a little tough to adjust though, I recommend going for the optional adjuster tool and extra aperture set.
I have several models of Williams units currently employed, and the Tech Sight on a vintage HW 35.

I've had very good results with the Williams WGRS 54 sight on my HW95. I had no need to change the front sight. I'm sure this sight would be just fine on the HW30.

The WGRS 54 looks really elegant! Very nice.
I've hesitated to try one, because I wondered if its small range of vertical adjustment would work. So your comments are much appreciated! I may pick one up.

Thanks. I don't know if you can see it in the photo but I have the elevation set at about the middle so I have plenty of room to go up or down.

That looks great. Considered using those before but I wasn't sure about fitting it to the weihrauch 11mm dovetail. Did you have to do anything special to fit it or get it to stay?
Thanks

Tech Sight has the model for the flat top dovetail. Diana, Beeman R10, BSA etc. for those not in the know.

It fit perfectly. It is designed for a 11mm dove tail. (Great for .22 rimfire rifles too)Their is a base screw that I screwed down far enough that it protrudes down into the stop pin hole and rests against the back of the stop pin hole. That blocks it from moving. I also put a small amount of red locketite on the groves in the dove tail.
The sight has not budged.

Is there any reason why you couldn't mount it one hole back on the receiver. I like them mounted as close to the eye as possible.
Thanks

You could do that. The only problem is that the base of the sight will slightly protrude past the rear of the receiver.

Thanks. I guess it's for me to decide if I'm ok with over hang. It looks good where it is so it's not a deal breaker. Thanks for the info. It's much appreciated.
