A good couple of outings with the FWB 127/ 124 Sports lads.

Brings back a thousand and one memories using these rifles and "boy do they hone your shooting skills"

Hi Mark,

 

Nice shooting with the old FWBs. This has got me itching to get mine out and give it a go again. Its a Sport 127 which I've had since the mid eighties. A few years a go it was given a new spring and seals. It originally came with a Nikko Stirling 4x40 WA scope but this has now been fitted to my lads old BSA Meteor. I've just ordered a set of high profile mounts so I can fit a slightly larger (56mm) scope onto it.

 

I was wondering what you consider to be the best pellets for this rifle based on the ones that are available today?

 

Regards

 

Chris

Aye up Chris ,

 

I`ve been using Falcon Accuracy Plus to very good effect.

13.78 g, 4.52 they hit hard and are very accurate indeed. Watch the old piston seal/ main spring Chris, it ends up a "must do" job on the classic FWB`s.

What a gun though when it`s done

JSB Exact is another ( same pellet some say) ?

 

Post some pics in our "make do classic section"
