    Am I right in presuming that John Whiscome no longer produces his recoiless marvels?

    But wish i had my old\new Fwb 124 .177...and i dont do .177 these days...that was accurate...swapped it for a lambretta GP200...Should have kept that as well.....theyre worth a bit nowadays.

    You are correct Amec. John no longer makes these marvels .
    No worries, I got two And no you cant have one. Ps and extreamly rewarding to shoot.

    No I don't think he did, I bought both Dave's 124s and 127. ATB Eric

    the 121 arrived this morning,i don't like it!
    doesn't feel as nice to shoot as my early hw85 did.
    it may grow on me but i suspect it won't.

    Give it a tune. Also, it might be be-devilled by some innocent fool putting an Ox spring in it or similar.

    The FWB Sport series is quite hold-sensitive, but should be pleasant to shoot, anything else points to piston washer/spring/lube issues.

    The 85 is a heavier rifle with a Rekord trigger, so the FWB might seem a bit soggy in the trigger department and a bit flighty.

    Otherwise, how much?

    i kind of know what you mean is it the plain stock with no recoil pad
    i have one of those / 177
    the reach to pull dont feel as good as on the 124/7 stocks and the lack of recoil pad makes it feel a tad harsh i have a 22 hw 85 and they feel a lot like the sport to shoot / never tried one in 177 to compare though
    what cal is yours

    it came from dave hall so i have no doubts that it is right in every department,it also has a 124 stock so should be more comfortable but it feels odd,my hw was also in .177 and i liked that a lot more than i like this.

    Maybe you just don't like FWB Sports and prefer HWs. It is allowed.

    Sorry to hear about your misfortune Bigchap. I was going to say that it would probably grow on you until I read your last post. Bugger.
    By the way Hsing ee, that must be the best sales pitch I have seen for a while now ! Shame about this 121. Hope my 124, when I finally get paid and buy it, is as I remember my last Sport. Namely a flighty (as previously and accurately described by Hsing ee) slim but quality springer with a bit of an iffy trigger and crap pressed steel safety. This just makes them even more fun to shoot in my opinion.
