FWB mod65 pistol ??

[freewind]

I`ve just picked up one of the above and would appreciate any info. Its in .177 and is a recoiless spring target pistol, beyond that, I have no idea. What years were these produced and expected fps would be a start.
Thanks in advance.

Hi freewind,

If you Google Feinwerkbau ( Westinger & Altenburger ), find their web site you can download a copy of the FWB 65 manual on a PDF file. the site is in german however there is a translation facility on the right hand side at the top.

All the best

Velocity can be up to 500 ft/sec with Hobbies, perhaps even more with the 7grain RWS R10 wadcutters
