Dovetail Iron Sights for .177 rifle

(This file may have a front post that is too tall for your rifle, consider checking out the other sight I made that fits better and has a shorter more accurate front post) This is an Iron sight I designed for my Umarex Surge air rifle, I don't know if the front sights will fit on other air rifle barrels (the hole is 5/8 of an inch in diameter) as it was made to clip onto my rifles break action barrel, although it might work on other air rifles as well as long as they have no sights on. The Rear sight is made for an 11mm dovetail rail and can be popped on with a bit of sliding and force (and depending on if you scale it correctly a small hammer), you know it's on once it either pops into place or it won't go down further. The rear sight should be snug on the rail.
The front sights require screws or pins (you might be able to glue them together as well, just be careful not to glue it to your barrel), pins can be made from cut nails, 3D printed, or cut from metal rods, but they need to be 1/8 of an inch wide or slightly less for a snug fit, glue should help keep the pins in place.
The rear sight may require a bit of adjustment in the slicer software to get the notches for elevation to work.
