The receiver is slim and capable of producing a full 12ft/lbs legal maximum, this test piece shot 8.6gr Field Target Trophy pellets at 765fps for 11.2ft/lbs energy which is superb considering it is probably 25 years old! Pedigree chum
177 calibre and although you have no sound moderator, in all truth what the hell, it’s a classic just cope with the slightly louder noise on firing. Barrelwise the 18.25-inch length is perfect for a. So, on s/h models check the barrel cannot be moved vertically or horizontally to excess which would otherwise indicate excessive wear. This is actually a very good point to look for as the FWB uses a ball bearing lock up and not a normal detent or wedge system. The barrel is easily broken with a sharp tap on the barrel which releases the locking mechanism. Open sights are fitted as standard and are actually very good but today you would fit a scope on the twin dovetail rails a top the receiver. 177, they all have that desirable old-world quality that I am sad to say most modern guns do not have.īeing a traditional break barrel air rifle is in keeping with its Classic status as is the well proportioned sporter stock and highly blued steel finishes. 22 calibre and that means Model 124 or 127 respectively, this one is a. Being a true classic, the FWB comes in either. All metal parts honed together to produce a quality air rifle that today can be picked up for £200-£350 depending on the condition.

But I was not disappointed. I had always wanted a FWS Sport and, as luck would have it, I picked up a mint. But as a young, and very green hunter the looks alone of the FWB Sport model won me over, only problem was the price: £75 – I had to do a lot of odd jobs to earn that sort of money. Feinwerkbau had an enviable reputation for extreme accuracy from an air weapon, primarily for their 300 S Match grade target models. The Feinwerkbau (FWB) line of air rifles were like their Weihrauch counterparts, untouchable gods to a teenager like me, the unsurpassed pedigree of hunting and accuracy prowess the FWB Sport or Weihrauch HW 35 were the air rifle of their age.
Classic airguns like the Feinwerkbau Sport make you, the hunter, really work hard and learn the true worth of hunting at close range It`s an odd thing but although I shoot all manner of firearms, I still really like my hunting with airguns and to be specific classic guns. Any quarry with these is again extra special compared to all the fancy air guns you can get these days. If I am feeling a bit nostalgic then the original Weihrauch HW35E or Feinwerkbau Sport air rifles come out, un-tuned and just how they came from the factory.
