    Fas 6004

    Anyone out there have the 6004? Are they good value new or used?

    Although the 6004 may look like the 604, I was not too impressed to read of the snag mentioned in post #6 below:

    ..straight answer - NO .

    If they fix the faults then they could become a worthy replacement for the 604 - but as they are right now they are a liability that is best avoided.

    I.J.'s account of his experience is good enough for me - I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole.

    I think I've gone off the idea!

    I had a FAS6004 for two days after waiting months for them to arrive. Initially I was pleased with the grouping which were slightly low at 10m so I thought I would adjust the sights - as you do . Thats when the trouble started. I didn't use ANY force, just finger pressure and the back sight adjuster stripped. On closer examination it became obvious that this would happen. A 2mm threaded steel rod into alloy. There was no way of increasing the size of the adjuster as the detent for the elevation screw was right next to the threaded (read stripped) hole.
    I took it back to the retailer who exchanged it for a s/h FWB100

    The holes on either side are for the screws which retain the sight and the spring that put it under pressure.

    I have just read on another forum that mine could possibly have been a grey import.

    Roy - I will send you some pictures done in red wax crayon. I would,have done them in green crayon but Ive eaten them after my doctor told me I wasn't having enough greens.

    Thanks Ian, that photo clearly illustrates the problem. There are a lot holes very close to one another

    Like I stated earlier - that was on what was probably a grey import pistol It may be worth while having a look at a genuine import to see what, it any, difference there is.

    This is a genuine FES604 http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...ml?sort=6&o=23

    Was it a left hand drive 6004?

    Is that the FWB 100 that you shot a 'possible' with - on a comp' card!?

    Will you offer that FWB to me first, if you ever ever ever decide to sell it?

    No further questions, your honour.
