FWB 602 Short Loading Gate?

I've been searching online and haven't had any success. I'm looking for a short loading gate for my FWB 602 so that I could mount a scope on it. I did find one at Cibles Canada and they said it would work, but it doesn't. It's really for the 600/601 and the pins are a different size and are held in place with c-clips while on the 602 the pins are thicker and seem to be press-fit without any c-clips.

Short of modifying the existing loading gate, which I do NOT want to do, any ideas on where I might find one?

Thanks

When I scoped my 602 a few years ago the short loading gates were nowhere to be found. I ended up modifying mine. It would probably be easier modifying the one you have and finding a factory loading gate to keep in reserve. Good luck!

That is the one I bought, after they assured me it would work on the 602. When I contacted them, the description only mentioned the 600 and 601, but they said it would work and then changed the description to add the 602.

The pins on the gate they sent me are a lot thinner than the original ones on the gun now, and they require c-clips to hold them in place. The 600 and 601 HAVE those c-clips, but the 602 does not. They're going to send me some c-clips and even though the pins would be a lot more loose than the originals, they think it should still work. Guess I'll find out soon.

Thanks. I sent Neal an email this morning asking if he had anything available but he hasn't yet replied.
