    They don't exist unless a custom or Beeman which was specially done for them for the American market and probably not even from the factory.
    You could put me down for any group buy.

    MAG did do 1 of 100 FWB Sports with walnut stocks ( albeit a direct factory copy but in plain (ish) walnut not beech) in 1982 at the same time as BSA were producing the 1 0f 1000 Centenary Airsporters - which I have)

    Obviously, some had better grain than others but not the same as the Beeman offering (MAG were the sole UK Beeman agents at that time before Webley took it on ) of which Alan and Graham both had excellent examples on their personal 127 and 124's respectively.

    IJ has Alan's 127 I believe eek:


    Maccari may still so them ?

    Back in the 1980s, I bought an FWB Sport with walnut stock via mail order from Manchester Air Guns. The finish wasn't the best but it was a decent bit of wood. I ended up Tru-oiling it but wasn't happy with the result and gave it away to a friend.

    IJ has Graham's, Alan will not part with his - I've tried! These two were 'specials' direct from Beeman, not two of the 100 walnut stocked ones. These 'specials'
    are a sight to behold.

    I was in the shop today talking to Graham about the FWB's (amongst other guns) and he referred to 50 walnut stocked Sports that MAG purchased?

    Pity its a right hooker!

    One of our club members and a member on here, Andy Mc. (AMAC) recently had a gorgeous left handed stock made for him by Tom Woods. Perhaps thats the way to go.

    Herr Jones has unfortunately made a mistake with our fellow club members name and email address. A clear sign of early senility and proof that his aversion to Wobbly pistols is now starting to affect his reasoning. Those of you reading "Airgunner" may well have noticed a piece I did recently regarding my own restocked Sport.

    Tom Forrest has done an excellent job of mine. He can be contacted via email on minitomone@gmail.com. Dont think he has a website as such, but will no doubt be able to forward prospective customers some digital images of his quite outstanding work.Tell him I sent you!

    Jud

    They were advertised in AGW as 1 of 100 perhaps they bought 50 to see how they sold ?

    I thought IJ's was a .22 (127) as that was Alan's calibre whereas Graham was (still is ?) a .177 man (He also used to shoot 17 REM in centrefire ! when no one else did -early 1980's)

    I used to frequent MAG weekly from when they opened in 1977 until the mid 1990's when I moved from the Manchester area so have not been in for at least 15 years .
