Personally, I can never understand why the 124 was/ is over rated. It isn't particularly light, the trigger is awful, the safety in most guns I came across was non existent, the recoil jarring.....
Yes, maccari kits improved them. But so do venom kits on Weirauchs, with better triggers to begin with.
I went through two 124s, and got rid of them in a few months after the genie failed to appear despite repeated rubbing and cockings.
My Weirauchs, on the other hand, are keepers. After all, the Ford model T was a great car. But you won't make me drive it to work in this age.
