What to do with a FWB Sport 124

[Muskett]

For a good while the choice was an Airsporter, a Webley MKIII, a HW35, maybe a BSF S70 or Annie 335.
Later to add to the mix an Airsporter S, HW35E, and Original 45. BSF went bust. The Webley Vulcan was half the price of these. Or the Jap Sharp pumper.

Later again the HW80 and HW77, with Theobn just starting out.

There wasn't much else other than a Sussex Armoury Hi Power

By 1986 tuning was happening. The Vulcan an Omega. Theoben had German barrels, and Air Arms was in business. And the first PCP's started to appear. Webley and BSA were doing their best to go bust. BSA's Superstar was on the drawingboard and the Sterling was history as were the Brockets cartridge system for rifles. But at least people were hitting things out of the farmyard and knock down targets were being placed at 40m!

Late 80's annoyingly the FWB MKIII came out and that really didn't help the Sport. The Orinal 45 in .20 was being discounted. Things had moved on. The HW77 rule had been usurped by the PCP done by the likes of Daystate and Theoben's Rapid 7. No looking back after that.

Again HW's should have been issued with a wheelbarrow. The FWB was The rifle for a young teenager around the farmyard and hedgerows, plus it had a 4x40 or 3-9x45 scope. The trigger fantastic compared to the Vulcan MKI or BSA Mercury.

The HW95 is probably the nearest thing to the Sport now. They are flighty too because of the weight. I have both and the 95 needed tuning up to work well.
