The biggest and most positive was the TRIGGER BLOCK being a vast improvement over models of the past.
Feinwerkbau sport 124 how to use full#
Having handled these NEW FWB Sporters a few times in the past couple years, tho never had the opportunity to take one apart and get to the bottom of what is lacking or strong suits either ? This rifle the OP is speaking of was my first ( Honestly and full transparency ) What I found was Very similar in design to the OLD 124/127 series sporters in term of piston architecture, barrel pivot and lock up with an indexing ledge. This rifle will not produce the consistent tight groups that I have become accustomed to with my TX and HW series underlever rifles - but again, they are totally different rifles for different purposes, and will undoubtedly provide much enjoyment for years to come, filling a void in my collection in terms of cocking/loading design.He improved its performance tremendously. I would not have been happy with it had I not sent it to Scott for tuning.This rifle will not produce the consistent tight groups that I have become accustomed to with my TX and HW series underlever rifles – but again, they are totally different rifles for different purposes, and will undoubtedly provide much enjoyment for years to come, filling a void in my collection in terms of cocking/loading design.At 55 yards, the groups opened up beyond 2" with evening the best performing pellet. It is sufficiently accurate to take any small game out to 50 yards.This is a beautiful rifle in all aspects, is well made, and is much lighter and better balanced than any other spring piston rifle I own, and will be a dream to carry in the woods compared to my 56TH and heavier springers.To really test consistency, I then shot five 10 shot groups of these pellets at 18 yards, with the results shown on exhibit 4.įinally, I took the FWB to my 150 yard indoor range today, and shot 30 yard and 50 yard 10 shot groups to determine the best performing pellet, and then shot to POI every five yards from 20 to 55 to develop the range card I attached to the rifle. The best three were the JSB Diablo RS 7.37, the Air Arms Diablo Field 7.87, and the AA Diablo Field 8.4. I next tested six different pellets at 18 yards, with the results shown on Exhibit 2. The rifle is very smooth to shoot now and the trigger is perfect. The groups sizes diminished considerably. The results can be seen in Exhibit 2, as the SD dropped from 12 to 16 FPS depending upon the pellet, to 4. Scott polished the barrel throat to allow the pellets to seat better. He disassembled the trigger and stoned and polished the sear contacts. He proceeded to de-burr everything, homed the compression tube and placed a liner in the piston spring's cavity and manufactured a one piece spring guide to fit the factory spring, polishing the spring ends. He retrofitted and ARH seal designed for an HW 35 to replace it. Scott's invoice indicated that the factory piston seal was too loose. It was also hard to get the pellets to seat properly.Īfter talking to Scott Schneider at Motorhead, I boxed the rifle up and sent it to him, as I have always had tremendous service from Scott. I found the shot cycle to be really harsh, and the trigger only fair. As you can see by exhibit 3, the results were less than stellar, especially compared to what I am use to with my HW77, HW97, and TX200 rifles.
Upon receipt, unboxing, studying the owner's manual, and prepping the barrel, I put it through the paces shooting four different pellets using my indoor 18 yard range. I purchased it from Champions Choice and the service was excellent. 177 FWB Sport (see exhibit 1), based upon FWB's reputation for accuracy. I don't know whether this is true or not, even after this experience.Īfter looking around, I decided to purchase a new. I have always believed that due to the lock-up, a break barrel could, at least in theory, never be as consistent. Having accumulated a really nice collection of custom tuned underlever cocking HWs and TX200s, I decided I needed (?) one premium break barrel in my collection, just to see how it might compare to a fixed barrel, under lever cocking rifle.
