    Yep, in .22 I do agree with you as imho the FWB Sport 127 has the slight edge over the Omega. But in .177, for me the FWB Sport 124 comes a very close 3rd to my Anschutz LG335 (2nd) and my Omega comes top (1st) .... As a foot note here, before I moved it on, my Diana Mod.45 held the last non medal position (4th) in my .177 break-barrel Pepsi Challenge although to be fair, you could hardly get a cigarette paper between them .

    Stripping the FWB 'Sport'.

    Step 1. Get a spring compressor.

    A threaded lug secures the trigger block and takes the pressure from the mainspring. Unscrewing the lug without first taking up the considerable pressure from the mainspring with a compressor will probably nadger the thread. The trigger block will then exit the rear of the cylinder at a velocity that places it well above the 12fpe limit.

    Yes it’s possible, on my most used 124 I fitted a brass bush, must have been in about 1992. The idea being that the bush would wear rather than the bolt, as even then they were becoming hard to find. Been perfect ever since.

    FWB

    I wouldn't imagine it would be too difficult for a decent machine shop to make a replacement bolt but then again a one off may be costly.

    Rustybuzz, I've enjoyed reading about the early days of FT. My 80 was tuned for FT by your uncle early in the 80's. They were two of the major players back then and I remember talking to both of them at numerous shoots in the South East during those years.

    So NOT ELEY Wasps but the naff copies.

    A well tuned 'Sport is one of the best - if not THE best springer IMO. Its a pretty easy rifle to work on with a spring compressor. Be extra careful when replacing the holding stud on re assembly as its easy to get this cross threaded.
    Good luck with the project.

    I've used Superdomes in my 124 Sports since I can remember. They work, period. In .177 they are just superb.
