Fwb 124

[ptdunk]

I was looking to buy a year ago and searched the internet for available models in .22 (ie FWB 127), which should be similar in price to the .177. Over several months of occasional searching, I found prices were anything from nearly £400 to £450 and, from recollection, these were offered by gunsmiths. 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
Andrew.

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.

Thanks chaps.
I will put aside £300.

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

You will be VERY lucky as all the ones Ive ever seen were plastic.

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

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.
