: Open site conversion for Gamo Big Cat
: MIKE I April 27, 2009, 10:50:10 PM

I have an older Gamo Big Cat, the version with the all steel barrel and wood stock.  It belongs to a friend that wants it converted to open sites.  Any idea which sites will accomodate this?  I have a feeling that the front site from a S1K will fit after the muzzle break is removed.  The rear site screws are too close together for the S1K rear sight though.  Any help is apreciated.

I don't think that these sights will fit the Big Cat - At least they won't with the newer ones

On the description of the sights it says:
Does not fit fluted bullbarrel ( which is what the newer Big Cats are)

They should have invested into making this gun better with open sights on it

Not trying to be the bad guy here

Take Care

Tylor - He says he has an older Big Cat with the all-steel barrel.

PS - I'm pretty new here myself, but welcome to GTA!!!

Ok

sorry I must have read over that when I was reading the message

I guess those sights would work then

Thank you CO AirGunner I'm glad to be here along with many great air gun users

Thanks again!
