Wait till WE get the chance to play at filling it up.

I shot a 281 over 6 cards last night but the BEST thing is I got a p.b. fill of 266g (short cyl.). Now 274!

p.s. I know you use that (very expensive) FWB grease on the threads of FWB air cylinders but can you use (cheaper) say Moly grease on the threads of CO2 cylinder threads????

The hugely overpriced ( depending where you buy it!) FWB grease is good on the alloy to alloy threads on their PCP cylinders for sure - but the CO2 FWB cylinders have brass threads on the cylinder valve and the receiver part of the pistol, so I would think we should find out what would works the best on brass to brass threads.

It is said that brass "self-lubricates", but a small dab of petroleum jelly should be better than leaving it dry - until we find out what lubricant works best on brass. Some lubes can be very dirty to work with ( like graphite powder) so we may be looking for a compromise in any case!

Geoff and Jackie borrowed my Feinwerkbau C20 to shoot their cards last night - no practice - straight in on a borrowed gun - not at all bad. Jackie hit a 46 and generally got better as the cards went by and beat "hubby" Geoff by 10 points

This is an even better result on reflection when considering the large size of the grips and and the small size of her hands - the grips should have fitted Geoff much better !

My new CO2 pistol arrived this afternoon, so this FWB C20 pistol is now definitely up for sale and will make a strong competitive pistol for use in the CCL.

What are you Bob doing letting Jackie use the C20?

No practice! Wrong sized grips! And a 46 !!!

Were doomed man - doomed.

I can see me relegated to the kitchen due to my poor CO2 results.

I will shoot my CCL on Tuesday and pray to God that I get at least ONE card above 46 or pass the Marrigolds.
