Feinwekbau sport

[TonyL]

On the plus side the trigger and lockup is much better than the old sport..but...they are overpriced, underpowered, 30mm piston and only .177. Mach 1.5

They appear to have set out to create a rifle with the looks that only a mother could love.
The breech block and trigger guard do nothing for the appearance. If ugly rifles become collectable this will be worth a fortune

Indeed, as Mr Mach 1.5 states, the trigger and lock-up are FAR superior to those earlier guns.

Looks....to be fair, I was not impressed with the looks one little bit when just looking at images on the 'net. What the hell were those "ears" all about on the breech block? But then view it in the flesh, handle it, feel the precision and quality oozing out of every pore and you can't fail to be impressed.

But yes, still too pricey.

But I'd still like one!

I'll bring mine to the bash in April. Mach 1.5

[TonyL]

Excellent; thank you, kind sir.

Can't wait until Spring.

Can't wait until Spring.

I will be most interested in having a look and possibly a go myself in April , I have a nice mk1 that you had a go with at the June bash, they are great springers and can still keep up with the new guns.

[Mach 1.5]

Sorry I can't bring it to the October bash but away on holiday. You may also see why the trigger guard is the shape it is. Yes Les you MK1 was nice and the first one of that model I had seen. Mach 1.5

Ah, yes; very nice indeed was that, Les.

V-Mach kit I seem to remember?

Will you be bringing it to the Halloween Boingfest?

These 'ere coils are well bound with anticipation too, Les.

Just not sure if I can last for another six weeks to get my fix, though.

Be great to see you and your lovely toys again, Les.

I had a 127 Mark II which I stupidly sold in the mid-eighties. One of the very few guns I regret having sold. But then it wasn't getting a look in as I was using my Venom '80 for hunting and Vantage '77 for FT / informal targets.

Hi Top gun
If I can work out how to, I will put a photo up for you,I have a old skool nikko sterling 4x32 scope on my gun and it suits the Fwb .

Les

How can a 30mm cylinder perform well at 12fpe Unless it's a HW35?

Even the Yanks aren't that impressed with the new FWB. And yet it suits their power levels.

I love Feinwerkbau guns, but they have just dropped a huge bollock.

Given the price, this is a gun that nobody will be rushing to buy.

[Hsing-ee]

Any more information on the 'new' Feinwerkbau Sport(er)?

I see that the drop in Sterling has pushed them over the £500 mark.

[clarky]

I was very disappointed when i first saw this....i mean is it possible to make a rifle more ugly.
The original model had hit the top of the curve, following the lines of a good centre fire sporter so how could they get this so wrong.
Look at rifles with shotgun style trigger gaurds, which follow gracefull lines. ..no idea what they looked at here....
