Making a Feinwerkbau Model 65 Kick like a Mule.

[zooma]

Another thought occurs - didn't FWB keep making the mod 65 with recoil option well after the 80 was discontinued? More evidence there was no frame weakness perhaps...

Yes that is very true - the Model 65 continued to be available alongside the Model 80 for some time during the 70's when I bought them both from new ( not together I hasten to add - but over a couple of years or so).
