Pugo it's a Mark 1 Feinwerkbau Sport .177, probably late '70s or 1981 latest. In very good original condition it could be worth £200, in poor condition £100. Post some pics on here if you want a better idea.

Do an archive search for more info too.

spot on for the info thanks so much

Dear Mach 1.5

RE. Stick, wrong end of

It's not my gun bud, read the thread properly.

[Mach 1.5]

Sorry.

Some of the early ones had a very plain stock, with no chequering, that might bring the value down a bit.

That's true Gus, and another thing, if it was in really poor condition it might be worth a fair bit less than £100 too.

I want to convert my FWB 127 sport to a .177, is it a case of just changing the barrel, or does the spring need changing as well? Has anyone got a .177barrel for sale? (Must be mint.)

You should be able to just change the barrel, assuming the mating face of the breech and ball detent are compatible with your cylinder. I know Mark (kram42) had problems with this once.

The springs are the same for both calibres.

But .177 barrels are rocking horse poo and mint ones are the scarce variety of said excrement.

Thanks for the info Garvin. I had a funny feeling the .177 barrels would be thin on the ground.

[I. J.]

Changing calibres, in this case, is just a question of swopping barrels but I would put it over the chrono soon after just to be on the safe side. From past experience I have found that changing cal in a 'Sport (and most other springers) brings approx. a 20% increase (.177 to .22) and a similar decrease (.22 to .177) in m.e.

The tuned FWB Sport is a very under rated rifle IMO.

I second that! I was shooting my .177 FWB Mastersport this afternoon, which has been tuned by Venom. So smooth to shoot, in a nice lightweight package. As garvin said, i did have a problem with another FWB, where the barrel was obviously not original to the gun. The barrel breech face had a channel cut widthways, which did'nt marry up with the guns detent, resulting in a sloppy lock-up. Mark
