A private bargain might probably yield a better price but very few of these seem to come up.

    I considered this somewhat expensive so shelved the search but would be interested at the prices your colleagues, here, have ventured.

    Kind regards

    Woodys of Wembley have a 127 for £245

    And there are a few on sale at the moment on
    Popular gun websites for similar price. 124’s are much rarer and seem to go for more.

    If you can get one with iron sights fitted all the better but you'll probably pay a premium for that.

    Thanks, I was just using a terminology. I will be more careful with my wording in future.

    124

    The 124 was the rifle to own,and only the posh had one, the rest of us had a meteor if you was lucky. I always said I would have one and I did . And 30 or so years later .... it is still the dogs dangley Bits.. I do agree that the hw 95 is about the closest I have shot to the fwb...apart from the Original 45..would I get rid..... not a chance .as for price ..well I was offered £350 .

    Ive got a .177 FWB 124, it was a sleeper from a collection I picked up. The piston seal crumbled on the first shot. I then had it serviced and a new seal fitted. I've fired a few shots and its lovely. Its now though oiled and boxed away, kept nice and tidy for the next bloke....Or, until I have a sudden need to use it. As for value I wouldn't sell it for £500 scoped up with a new Kasnar, as I couldn't get a better one. But i'm sure that there are good ones out there for less money.
