    I believe the Supersport piston seal will fit,but needs turning down slightly to fit the FWB cylinder.

    feinwerkbau sport 127 mk2 piston seal replacement

    The supersport seal is 2mm too big from memory when i tried one on the cylinder of my 124, mine ran great on the maccarri mongoose seal already fitted, just tried the supersport seal to check fit. So I'd recommend the maccari,

    1mm

    Quite handy on the looser tubed sports, but it will of course always need sizing. Macarri seals are good, but I had one sport where the tube was just too big for it (new seal) - fitting a sized BSA seal transformed the rife.

    I bow to your experience there, but the bsa seal is a push fit into a recess & the fwb is screwed on through a central hole as far as i remember,so not as straightforward as fitting a direct replacement for the unexperienced.

    Terry Robb used to offer seals for FWBs. Maybe he still does?

    they are the same fitment mate... no mods required... FWB isn't screwed in.

    Length I think is similar enough that it will not be a problem.
