Fit one with the barrel from a Feinwerkbau Sport and you have a super dooper springer!
Yes, but the 77 came out in something like late 1984 (and the HW80 in around 1981, and IIRC the Diana 45 in about 1978), whereas the Sport was available from 1973. That’s a good long run as the best gun, or one of the best, in town.
