Ive heard that FWB produced three .20s!

Harper used to do .25 conversion. Could it be one of these or has the block been re-barreled.

If it's marked as a 127 it's been re-barrelled.

I know that Bowket used to do them in .20" using Original 45 barrels and ship them over the pond so he may well have done a .25" version.

intresting, I do have a Bsa Firbird that was re- barelled in .20 and blueprinted by Mr Bowkett, that was the first of my 2nd hand pcp,s and its awesomly acurate.

Maybe, if it is the barrel will be 15.5 inches in length.

Intresting, allways liked Airmasters work, just could never afford it but then you do pay for quality.. So did you keep any records/ serial numbers of the guns worked on. I ask because I picked up a nice early HW77 a few years back from a large South Wales gun shop, sold to me has a Venom, it had the set back triguer/ and muzzle break. A few weeks after buying I had a serious accident which left my arm / hand smashed to pieces and residual nerve damage. I decided to move a few rifles on and the 77 was one of them. I decided to get it serviced afore sale and passed to a well respected local to me tuner _ Welsh- Willi. A few days after dropping off I was contacted with some bad news, it may have looked like a Venom and sold to me has a Venom, but it wasnt. Now if theres no documentary evidence I dont buy. I lost over £400 on the sale of that 77, has it wasnt a Venom.
