10m beginner - FAS 640?

[HennersHK]

Hi - would welcome your advice. Looking to start 10m target shooting and would like to know if the Fas is reliable and up to the job. I keep reading reports of problems with seals and that it's undepowered - what's the truth?

Underpowered shouldnt be a problem, wether its true or not. Yr talking 10m paper punching here..
And dont you mean 604? Dunno the 640..
It should be fine for 10m entry, more accurate than we are

Assuming you mean the AP604 pistol then yes they are fine for 10m shooting.
The seals in them occasionally need replacing, due to age more than anything else, but it is a simple job.
Ive got one here to reseal at the mo for a friend, I was going to do a step by step on it and post it for reference.
Ive have a 604 for about 6 years, it needed seals when I bought it, but not since.
As for accuracy the are better than most people
Ive shot 94 from 100 at 10m with mine. The trigger is superb, nice and crisp.
