The FAP's are 13.4 gns and are alledged to be JSB RS
In fact, when I bought the gun I asked for a tin of AA but the dealer actually gave me a couple of tins of the Weihrauchs and said I would be best using them, he wasn't wrong.
On the sling front, I used a photo of the rifle with studs fitted and scaled up the positions for the studs, the rear was easiest to do and I used the long threaded version firstly drilling a couple of gentle pilot holes making sure the drill went in square relative to all the surfaces.
The forend, after scaling, turned out to be directly under a small plastic insert/guide that is only visible when the action is removed so I just temp removed it, drilled and fitted a short stud, then popped the insert back in. A word of warning though, on the cocking arm there is a small plastic roller on a pin and it is easy to loose it if you dont keep the action upright when you remove it.
