feinwerkbau

[mfm]

hi,
i've just been given a feinwerkbau sport 124.it's a 177 and in very good nick.does anyone know if these guns are any good?i used to shoot rabbits with a weirach hw77 but that seemed more powerful than this one.has anyone been rabbiting with a feinwerkbau and did it do the job?
thanks

Fwb sport is a very capable air rifle,in good order will be just as powerful and accurate as an hw77,-it may not feel as powerful due to its very smooth cocking and shooting cycle,but was once (and still today by many) considered the rolls royce of spring guns.
Enjoy.

What he says. You used to be able to get "export" springs for them (and the BSF which is similar) which puts the foot poundage up to the legal limit;)

the feinwerkbau is a brill air gun . the only drawback is that the parts are like rocking horse sh1t . the most common fault is the safety catch just on the rear of the cylinder breaks for some reason and is a bitch for fixing,
i have one and shoot pidgys in the barn regular .
my freind tim mcavoy from mcavoy guns has some parts .
if you need owt phone him

I'd sell it on airgunbbs they pay cash for a tx, you will struggle to find a tx owner who wants a downgrade;)
