FWB Sport Replacement Trigger Unit

[MartynB]

Just curious, has anyone tried to / successfully fitted a replacement trigger unit to a FWB Sport ? Thnking AA CD or HW Rekord unit, or anything else ?

The Record has been done but it involves a lot of work.

IIRC BBS member Rustybuzz sold a Feinwerkbau Sport action on here fitted with a Rekord trigger unit.

I looked at doing it by machining a Weihrauch 35 back block down to fit the sport cylinder, unfortunately after three years, I'm still waiting of delivery of the Sport.

You can borrow my 127

what's wrong with your existing trigger ? They can be made quite nice for a lot less work...

I have a 127 that had a plastic trigger. Nothing really wrong with it except the safety was a tad temperamental ... a reasonable pull on the trigger overcame the safety.
So, for a bit of fun because I was bored and too tight to buy a new metal blade, I made a new blade from aluminium bar. It took a while with files, drills, a tap (was it 3mm?), a small vice and a hacksaw but it worked. Great fun ....
Cheers, Phil

I was curious as to whether someone had done it, I otherwise love the Sport, simple solid engineering and good looks and accurate, just a shame the trigger mech isn't on a par with the Rekord CD

sure, but with a bit of adjustment, it can be made pretty close; certainly creep free and predicatable
