Making a Feinwerkbau Model 65 Kick like a Mule.

[zooma]

Our top MPL shooter (TC1) tested his Model 65 with a blocking plate he had made himself at RMTC last Tuesday.

It would be fair to say that he could not get the screw unwound fast enough to remove it, so it seem like his plans to find the most competetive recoiling pistol for use in the MPL do not lay with the Model 65!

Shame really as some of us thought this would be the ulitmate recoiling match pistol - mainly due to its superb handing and match trigger - but I think I will go and test this option for myself in any case as it should ( in theory) be right up there with the best of the recoiling pistols.

After 5 shots my finger nails started to fall off and I got double vision!

I told you not to use that lumo pink nail varnish - but you wouldn't listen would you?

Sadly it looks like even the mighty Feinwerkbau FW65 has been humbled by the GAMO Centre pistols as the best "kicker" tested so far in the MPL series.

.who would have thought it?

Re FWB 65 locking plate and possible damage incurred.
I have bought a 65 recently that has been fired for most of its life with the locking plate fitted by a masochist who also did not read the manual.
On stripping it I found that the longest of the 2 screws in the front recoil slide was badly bent, but whether this fault was related to the locking out I am afraid I cannot say.
