Fwb 800 ft

[Fred16]

Change of POI with the FWB 800 Basic (wooden stock).

Any one had any experience of this happening?

POI on mine only changed on 2 circumstances:
1. After taking the action out the stock. Solved this by using a torque srewdriver when refitting the stock.
2. When the regulator jams open. There is quite a power curve and the POI shifts through the shot sequence.

The later happens frequently.

I'm thinking about getting one, I shoot a Steyr myself but love the look of these. Not sure where to get one from but have been advised abroad, anyone make any suggestions?

Personally I wouldn't buy on looks, performance should be priority.

In all fairness Rob that's only 10 shots, whats it do with temp and lower fill in cylinder.
The front cradle will move upwards like a banana from cold 3mm tested over 4 yrs ago.
The factory FT has a subdued semi slow firing cycle and mild delayed recoil though chalk and cheese compared to any Walther. May have a good stock 2 in 3 just pivot at fixing. Combine that with 4 M3X40screws that can bend with two fingers and thumb holding cylinder, sloppy reg, sloppy packer in to block don't inspire confidence as it cant be tightened up and free to float around inducing constant stresses.
Wood stocks are less likely to shift zero they have more grab on side of action fixing. Have heard of 10M X users suffer zero shift and a pain to put right.

Just for reference heres a shot took last September 51 yards 5 shot group spoilt on last shot opening up to make 8mm edge to edge from 5mm hole.

Some reg bellevilles are stacked incorrectly giving that power curve. If fill up and powers low, unscrew tube dump air in valve and screw cylinder back on.

Theres only two rifles I would buy both 10M and modded accordingly, Anchutz 9015 or a Feinwerkbau P800.

There's a UK sub 12ft-lbs version at Dolphin airguns in Stoke on Trent at £2,300 - brand new. Identical to my own.

I've no idea where the 'knockers' get their ideas from but they certainly can't be based in fact!

Mine is superb to shoot and has never missed a beat in all weather conditions.

It out-shot my Steyr LG110 FT 2014 - so I sold it.
It out-shoots my AA FTP900.
It out-shot my AA EV2 Mk4 with Joe Corick reg so I sold it.
It out-shot my Hammerli AR20FT so I sold it.
It out-shot my HW101 FT full-length so I sold it.

If anyone want's a rifle to make tiny groups with out of the carton - Buy the feinwerkbau P800X FT.......superb.

Walther - eat your hearts out!

P.S. Buying from abroad may not be the best option now Sterling has fallen against the Euro! Do the math first.
