You're a star, Paul. Love you xxxxxx

Steady on Tony...yep no probs I'll bring it along. If I had to choose between a MK1 FWB and the FWB MK4 the MK4 would win hence that's why I own one and sold all my other sports off...to fund it cause it's so expensive!!! Mach 1.5

Likewise Tony...I wonder how many BBS members own a FWB Sport MK3? Mach 1.5

Dunno, Paul, but I would guess that sales of the Mark 3 will have been steady compared to the earlier models, due to stiffer competition from the likes of the HW80 and 77.

I reckon the earlier ones were held in such high esteem due to their graceful, sharper, more modern looks as compared to the HW35 and the various BSFs and also down to the perception that they made power more easily. The fine feel of beautiful engineering and fine tolerances certainly bestowed a feel of quality and finesse.

Once the rifles mentioned above became available, plus the Original 45 and the Webley Vulcan, Omega and the Mercury Challenger for the sporting shooter, its market was chipped away at from lots of different angles.

The "Dan Dare" muzzle brake won't have helped either!

[Muskett]

So true.
And that Rekord Tigger just smashed everyone else's efforts.

I still shoot a Sport nearly every day, and the trigger never gets any better!

Not very many,

The one I bought turned out to be a MK11.

I have one Paul. What I've only come to realise in more recent times is the meaning of the term "Dan Dare" muzzle weight. I say this as the one I have has a muzzle weight that is parallel sided with deep grooves machined in it. Whereas reference to the Dan Dare muzzle weight really do liken it to a flared muzzle of a futuristic ray gun😂😂.
I was not aware that there are two.muzzle weight variations to the Mk3.
I'm intrigued by the latest incarnation of the Sport but very.much put off by its cost and availability. Or lack of it in these shores.

Most of my Spots have been .177 and they have shot hundreds of rabbits, pigeons and squirrels.
Its pin point pellet placement that counts.
.22's are for plinkers

My oresent "shooter" isa MKI with MKIII stock Maccari innards and trigger Original Optma 3-9x35 on top.
Its got a banana barrel and though smooth really needs a full service as it tack drives for a few weeks and then goes odd on me? Done a lot of rounds and still wants to shoot straight most of the time. Really needs someone who knows more than I to tune it again. I reach for my Fenman .177 at the moment more.
