Air VenturiWilliams Lightweight 5D-SH Receiver Peep Sight, Black

I come from the world of firearms, though I've been inactive for many years. Back in the day, when you wanted a state of the art iron sight, you bought a Williams.I very recently bought a Benjamin 392 air rifle, and before I received it, I ordered this Williams 5D sight. My dad mounted virtually the same sight onto a Winchester Model 1894 carbine almost fifty years ago, and it has always worked quite well. Still does.When I received the sight, it was at most a ten minute job to mount it onto the 392. Obviously, it was designed for this rifle, however, that doesn't always mean it will fit without futzing around. No futzing here at all! There were only the most rudimentary of instructions, but if a guy can't suss something like this out, he just needs to take it to someone who can, so it was the easiest of installs. I used just a taste of Loctite 242 on the screws, then went out to sight it in.Again, another surprise! It shot almost exactly to point of aim right out of the packaging! Maybe an inch high, windage was perfect, fifteen minutes of fine tuning, and I'm a happy camper. For me, the aperture was a taste large, however, for shooting rats, I'm thinking that the hold will be pretty much perfect. I do intend to get a Williams Twilight Aperture down the road, as I intend to use the rifle for pest control in low light or night conditions.Overall, I'm very satisfied. It does not appear that the Williams sights have lost and ground in quality over the last fifty years!

The Williams receiver sight is easy to install on later model air guns. However, if you have an original Sheridan, the receiver must be drilled and tapped for the sight. If you are able to drill and tap the receiver yourself, fine, otherwise you must have a gunsmith drill and tap the receiver for the sight.

Took me a little while to figure out how to install it. It has 3 screws of different lengths, that's the key. With the gun pointed forward, the longest one goes to the rear, smallest one in the middle, medium size length in the front. The rear & middle screws secure it to the gun. The front screw just secures the elevation slide once set. Put sight on a new BJ 397. Once I figured on the install, it seems to be a better sight than the factory installed one for sure, the factory built one wasn't that great.

This sight was very easy to install. My pellet gun has a flat spot on the side of the receiver and two drilled and tapped holes from the factory, specifically for this sight so it went on no problem and I had enough adjustment to sight it in without modification. I sighted it in at about 30 yards and it hits pretty consistently for an old pellet gun. It looks very nice, seems to be very well made and my only real complaint is that the aperture it comes with is pretty big. I think its .093 if I remember correctly. Maybe .062 would be about right if thats an available size. You can get replacement apertures though so not a huge deal. Great price for what you're getting at about 40 dollars us.

OK, just another passionate fan here. I picked up a brand new .22 392 via Amazon and found, though the stock open sights shot fine in normal light for me. I found my old eyes had trouble focusing on the mid-barrel rear sight at dusk when sighting on the rabbits sneaking onto my property from a nearby park to eat gaping holes in my lawn. So after reading reviews and considering a 4x scope and mount, then comparing reviewers thoughts on the 392 Williams peep sight, I decided what the heck and purchased the Williams. Boy am I glad I did. Easy to install, and required very little adjustment to line up the sight after installation (3 shots). The 392 lines up more consistently in all light conditions and shoots tight patterns way more consistently at 20 yards than the stock 392 sights - and as compared with my .177 Beeman break barrel with its 4x sight, as well I might add. The 392 and WIlliams peep sight have my recommendation as a solid combo, quick and light handling, and fast to line up with the target with the 5 min addition of the Williams peep sight. Well worth the time cost of the upgrade.

09/29/15. This is a nicely made sight that fit my Sheridan C Series rifle very well. My rifle was made around 1977 before they were drilled and tapped for receiver sights. I used the sight base to mark the holes. The bolt, trigger assembly, and striker were removed before drilling. The 6-48 screws have about 4 threads that extend past the base that go into the receiver. I consider 4 threads the minimum and this is just about the thickness of the receiver wall. For this reason, I drilled and tapped all the way through. I cleaned up the chips and installed the sight. A quick boresighting showed that the sight needed very little adjustment to be on target. The rifle was assembled and a target and shooting rest were set up. After zeroing the sight, 3, 5 shot groups were fired at 12 yards. All three groups were easily covered with a dime. I feel that peep sights are much easier to shoot accurately than open sights and that this one is a good value for the price.

Fits my old Sheridan. Aperture sight makes it easier to shoot accurately.
