Feinwerkbau 124 sport tuning

[Amac]

Personally, I have found that my own 124 prefers a diet of Falcon Accuracy Plus. They only weigh 7.3 but shoot nice and flat and are made by JSB.
When I first managed to track down the 124, I decided to fit a "period" scope to go with it. Something along the lines of a Jap' Tasco 4x32/40 AG goes well if you can find one. They sometimes come up on here so keep your eyes open while you wait for gun to be sorted!
Dont forget that you will need to get hold of a decent mount with the lateral arrestor pin to suit the FWB receiver grooves. Sportsmatch do a nice one piece mount to suit, an example of which I actually have on my 127. My 124 has an Ian Jones sourced Apel one piece.
Good luck and keep us informed of any progress. It will be worth the wait and expense!

One of, if not THE best o/p mounting systems.
Another suitable classic scope would be the Tasco 2-7x32 AG JAPANESE and not the pretender Chinese version. They still do appear occasionally.

Thank you very much guys for your advice, I like the idea of a "period" scope to go with the feinwerkbau, and will get a sportsmatch mount, actually have just gone out and bought a second hand air arms pro sport .177 from Blackpool airguns with a Nikko scope, not shot it yet as I was going to give it to my son for Christmas....but what a good looking gun!!!!!still looking forward to the 124 being restored though, also as mentioned earlier I bought a pro mac kit for the 124 from the US (hasn't come yet) which I hope will make a difference when DM80 sorts it for me!!!!!

btw when I first bought the gun many years ago I fitted it with a rhino 3-9x40 scope (now bust) can you still get then....just wondered?????

Again, bubba, they do occasionally come up for sale. You could try putting out a "wanted period scope for a good home" type post on this section. I bet there's thousands of cracking classic gun/scope combos lying about forgotten and unloved in cupboards and lofts all over the country, the poor souls.

Just thought I would let you all know that I finally got my FWB 124 back from Dm80, it now shoots like a dream ( I managed to find a Rhino 3-9x50Ao at a militaria show) also got Dm80 to fettle my sons pro sport which now shoots beautifully as well ( it was a bit low on power, now shooting 11+ lbs). I can highly recommend Dm80 it was worth the wait and I'm not surprised he is always busy!!!
Thank you Dm.
Ps My 124 was chronoed by Dm80 at 9flbs!!! now 11+!!!
