Fwb c25 co2

That seems like a good buy!

Are they the C25/C55 alloy paint-pot type, or the steel cylinder type?

They are for the C25/C55.

This fiasco only came about a couple of years ago in Germany purely because of the misuse of air cylinders and over presuring by idiots, (surely thats natural selection?) and because of the failure of a batch of Anschutz air cylinders due to manufacturing defects. The German manufacturers over reacted and included air and Co2 cylinders to cover their tails and here we are today in this situation. Co2 cylinders are much lower pressure than air and the chances of a failure particularly with steel ones are about on par with the odds of the landing of alliens, but the manufacturers love it as it covers their tails and gives them a good little side line in after sales.
Sadly due to the current paranoia on "effing safety" there is little we can do about it and are now stuck with these uneccesary guidlines, but as a retired H&S professional that is all they are, guidlines, not law.
Good shooting

During what time period were the C25 made ? The Model 2 is earlier I understand ?

[zooma]

The model 2 was the first Feinwerkbau CO2 pistol, available in two lengths, and for my money was their best CO2 pistol.

This was followed by the C10, a curious looking pistol with the cylinder spaced below the barrel. A later version of the C10 had a revised front casting that lowered the barrel still further. Both shoot the same so I am not sure why they bothered with the lower variant.

The C20 and the C25 were the last models made by Feinwerkbau to be powered by CO2

Both are basically the same pistol and even share the same handbook, the difference being the two types of front casting - the first allowed the fitting of what had become the standard tubular steel cylinder (C20).

The second allowed the use of the newer cast alloy paint pot type cylinder designed to give a different centre of gravity and the fitment of a weight rail to allow finer balance adjustment. (C25)

There was of course also the 5 shot variants of some of these models, the last of which was the C55 that also used the newer paint pot type CO2 cylinders and is a great looking model.

Thanks for the info zooma, I am going to look at a C25 tomorrow (Sat) which is supposed to be in v good cond with an extra cylinder.
