    C25 Purchase.

    The C25 is a great pistol and really good to use, they always came with two cylinders and at least one balance weight to slide along the weight shaft for fine balance adjustment.
    Mine came with 3 weights, the original handbook, spare front sight elements and the large spanner (black plastic handle with Feinwerkbau on it) for the CO2 cylinder.
    The ONLY concern I have with the C25 is the problem with the paint pot cylinders as the factory have warned that the alloy they used to make them from deteriorates with age, embrittles whether stored with CO2 or not and should be destroyed when they reach 10 years of age.
    New cylinders are available from FWB at the sort of prices already mentioned in this thread and can extend the safe working life of the pistol by another 10 years. I think this is worth it as the pistol is built like a tank and is very unlikely to fail.
    If you need any parts, just order them direct from Feinwerkbau and they usually only take a week or so to arrive.
    Excellent online manuals and drawings help make sure you order the correct parts, and if you call the factory they speak good English and are very helpful.
    Minimum order value is just 17 euros when I bought from them recently, so you should have no fears about maintaining it either.
    One tip - always use a tiny drop of the genuine FWB grease on the threads of the cylnder, and another tiny drop on the seal inside the loading port. The grease is not cheap ( about £7 for a very small tube), but when used correctly it should last for years and prevent any problems with seized cylinders ( no need to tighten them too much) and extend the life of the seal a fair bit as well.
