Looked nice however a bit out of the prices bracket. A general point you may be able to help with. A couple of FWB's out there as well as the Hammerli. They all seem to have been manufactured in the 70's tho. Is it really OK to be purchasing kit of this age to use on a regular basis rather than to put into a 'collectors' cabinet?
Many thanks for you your help.

Hi Simon

All of those pistols were built to last several lifetimes,provided they have been looked after and had the seals changed when required. There are seal kits available and a number of guys on this forum that will replace them.
That Master is a beaut - but I would say that as it belongs to me!
