    Feinwerkbau cp55

    How often do the fwb cp 55 pistols I mean c55, come up for sale and what price would I expect to pay for one on average. Would I be better off buying from Germany or are they rare there.

    I'd advise waiting until the section 5 issue is resolved, there is no sign of it being quickly resolved, it is now in the hands of the Home office, and they have now stated that if upheld it will aply to other makes not just the Steyrs against whom Yorkshire started the silliness.

    If it's the 5 shot rapid fire experience you are after, why not buy the Drulov DU10 in the sales section, and if SA pistols get banned, it would be less of a loss than a £££ FWB....
    If they don't get banned, wait for the ideal pistol, and selling on the DU10 shouldn't be too difficult.
    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    I am enquiring now so if a ban is lifted I can be ready to buy if not I will buy a single shot instead. The c55 looks an interesting bit of kit, wouldn't mind trying one out.

    What a way to treat a nice piece of kit. Looking at the quality and accuracy of the fwb 601 rifle I bought I think this pistol would be well worth the money if one came up, even worth the sort time to use if such a ban came to be.

    The Feinwerkbau c55/c55p/p55 are the hardest pistols to get working properly again once they fail.
    I know of instances where pistols have been returned to the factory when they failed to cycle. Having had pretty much everything replaced costing a couple of hundred quid or more being returned to the owner still giving cycling problems.

    I know there are some about that were sent to Centra or Ten Ring sport for repair & came back working fine, it's just that the person that did them probably won't in the future. Just a heads up.

    My advice would be to stay clear & buy a Steyr, much more reliable & easy to maintain.

    But.... The FWB C55 is a superb pistol to shoot and looks far nicer than ant Steyr. So if you really want one, then just make sure it functions correctly. Filling the CO2 bottles correctly and seating the pellets in the mag is key.
