Correct,
Yes, I think re-engineering would be the best option,
Possibly just spinning the current one in a lathe to reduce the overall width, then setting it square on to the rear sight,

Kris,

So to increase the width of the front sight post you rotate it?

It wouldn't be too hard to make a selection of posts that you swap out. Is it held in by a grub screw from the side?

Hi Mic,
It's an easy process, the Firearm Safety Authority are great to deal with, just takes a long time to get the Permit to Import approved, took months, but sounds like they're backed up at the moment.

Just an update as I do a little more work with this gun,
The only dings I can give it, is of course the crap plastic grip that Crosman so love, they went as soon as I opened the box.
The front sight post is touted as infinity adjustable, which is great, you can rotate it, it goes from about 2.1mm out to about 4.5mm. The trouble is for the LPA rear sights I've put on the back, the front post is set at about 45ish degs to the bore axis, so when I'm look down the pistol at the sight picture, the front post has a light side and a dark side, the pictures should explain it better than me





Not a huge problem, easily re-engineered or ignored, but a bit of a pain,

Other than that this gun is freaking awesome, ]]> Fri, 24 Jul 2026 20:39:04 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1392&PID=14985&title=crosman-1701p-pcp#14985 Crosman 1701p PCP : Funny, If you just bought that... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=1392&PID=14916&title=crosman-1701p-pcp#14916 Author: Kris

Funny, If you just bought that from Trademe, It was from the gun I built, its had only 100 or so rounds down it. Very, very accurate.

This is my first foray into PCP guns, so excuse me if this is just repeating what others have posted.
On Paul's recommendation, I brought a $50 foot pump from Trademe, from 0psi up to 3000psi in 52 pretty easy pumps, and about 5 or 6 to top it up after 50ish shot string

That's all I know so far
