    Dear Mr Feinwerkbau.

    Having brought one of your new sports....and yes I do like it now it's doing 11.4. Can you now do one with a carbine barrel, .22 cal, walnut stock, 25mm piston, short stroke and sling swivels for £375....fingers crossed. Mach 1.5

    Available, yes. Attractive to potential buyers? Ermmm.

    Have they been improved since the first ones hit the shops?

    I gather they were a bit of a disappointment for the price.

    I wonder if this model will be as sought after in 40 years time as the 124/7s are now?

    For me, looks wise, newer ones not a patch on the older ones

    I think its the trigger guard shape .....it looks unbelievably bloody awful, infact it would be hard to design one worse looking ...
    Do manufacturers not realise that sporting arms need to be sleek and flow gracefully .....we had better looking tools 50 years ago!!
