    Les..
    I've already posted it in the serial number thread Les.

    I have just put an Exact through the chrono' and it was reading 500fps but the shot cycle isn't the best, It almost feels as if the spring has negative preload.

    It's being sent off to be made a bit better (I don't trust myself on it) so I have now got something else to look forward to.

    Shocking isn't it ?
    Its not actually negative preload but it is a terrible fit.
    Glad its straight Gary.

    Who's fettling your Feinwerkboinger for you, Gary?

    It's Dave Price that's doing it for me Tony. I once bought a 95 that he fettled at it was superb (which I sold to part fund the new Sport) and I know Dave works on FWBs so it made sense for me to call him.

    Dave will do a great job... glad to hear the barrel is true.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Absolutely; I've had the undoubted pleasure of sampling a fair few springers tuned by Dave, including the "Mark IV" Sport. Every single one of them lovely.

    You're going to love it, Gary.

    Mine was despatched on the 18th and delivered on the 21st so I think I've been lucky.

    Pretty much finished getting mine how I want it.

    Being very lazy, here's a link to a write up I've just done on the "other one" with pics.
    Warning to any collectors, this may well upset you
