    Feinwerkbau 80 target air pistol

    My mate has a recoilless side lever Feinwerkbau 80 target air pistol in it’s original case complete with all of the tools that were supplied with it when it was original purchased by him when it was new.
    The pistol in as new condition.
    What is it worth as he is looking to sell it.
    If anyone is interested I can probably get photographs of it.

    £2-300. If it has been recently serviced, usually indicated by a blue piston washer, towards the higher end of this. It is better if the grip is as manufactured and not customised to fit.

    Hi. Inspector
    It has never been serviced or been taken apart, the grips are completely original and have never been modified.
    The case if I remember correctly also contains a selection of barrel weights.

    If it's still on the original seals it will give up the ghost very soon once you start using it.They go to a cottage cheese consistency.New,modern seals will last virtually indefinitely,so you'll have to factor in the cost of renewing the seals,not cheap or doable by the average user.
    I did one years ago,took me a week on and off with the pistol in bits meanwhileSo I'd say you're looking at getting on for £100 to pay someone to do the job,more if the springs need replacing as well which will hit the value somewhat.

    Here in the U.S. I would put a value of about $700. The FWB spring piston pistols don't come up for sale very often around here.

    Strange, on classic apa you say
    “It was last serviced by Debens several years ago and has had little or no use since.”

    Finish on the right side looks different to me, maybe just the light. In excellent un-marked condition with proof of recent service up to £300. Without the service up to £200. Yours looks to fit somewhere in between.

    Hi.Mikehill
    As the pistol doesn't belong to me I didn't bother to include the comment as I don't have any documented proof of when it was done.

    Chronograph Test results.
    Which should give an indication of the condition of the seals and internal parts.
    Just run the FWB 80 though my chronograph H&N pellets which weighed 7.4 grns.
    The results are:
    F.P.S. 455
    P.D.S. 3.40
    The results are better than I expected them to be.
    Obviously, there is not much if anything wrong with the internal working of this FWB 80 air pistol.
