    FWB History No1

    Just thought I would show you my new purchase as it fairly unusual. ( although I do know someone else that owns one.)

    A Feinwerkbau History No1 .36 underhammer.

    I have only shot this once, but I will keep you posted on how I get on with it.

    Designed by a gentleman called Billinghurst....now made to a standard that would have been unattainable in his day.

    Thanks for the comments.

    This German made pistol is superb quality, made from the finest materials and feels fantastic.

    Being a .36 caliber, the barrel has a thick wall, and is quite long at 10 1/2" make it fairly front heavy, but being a big strong lad, its no problem.

    The underhammer has no half cock position, and no set trigger, its rear sight is adjustable for height, and the trigger is adjustable for weight.

    I have now shot this pistol another couple more times, using .362" ball, 10.5 grains pyrodex, 3/4" dia 0.01" patch, with number 10 remington caps. I did try 7/8" patches, but found it wouldnt group.
    I have been working on my grip, and Im pleased with my progress, I have shot an 84 and 85 on MLAGB rules, my best MLAGB score using my Le Page has been an 89. So there is room for improvement. I will try adifferent loads and see if I can improve further.

    The pistol is far more accurate than I will ever be, but I love its quality and feel, and certainly worth every penny.
