Good Wood


Recommended Posts

Managed to get myself a Fenman. Got a textie from a chap who I sold my 98 too months back about it this morning on the theoben owners group on gay book. Saw one yesterday which was a shed and thought he meant that one, but this one I'd not seen. So nice one Oz.

 

Went over and picked it up this evening from a sound lad in Leeds. 250 quid! Yes. 250. Came with a AGS 4-16x50 AO IR, leather gun slip and JSB Exacts heavies. It is superb too, real sweet. 177 @ 10.2 on the crono. Proper mk1 with the Hyundai wood, or however you spell it. If it's half as accurate as it looks and feels, it should be mint.

Looks stunning! I remember salivating over these in airguner magazine years ago, it cost me nearly a weeks pocket money just to buy the magazine and was reviewed by terry doe if I remember rightly?

 

That's a beauty and a bargain!

Hi Rez.

 

You've got a real smart rifle here. I've never owned a Fenman but, they were a really popular carbine back in the early 2000s. The wood is called HYDUA and for some reason, you pronounce it SHEDUA.

 

It's also a slow-growth wood that doesn't grow quicly enough to replenish itself; which makes it rare and a protected tree species now so, Hydua is no longer allowed to be grown and sold for commercial uses like furniture, flooring.... and gunstocks!#

 

The guy who runs Custom Stock Sheffield, told me that once when I asked about a sporter stock made from Hydua.

 

ATB Rez and looking forward to reading your experiences shooting with it.

Lovely handy little rifle fella. I've got an early HE sirocco carbine, the barrel is three inches longer than the fenman but it's still a handy little rifle and lovely build quality. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Looks like you got a bargain.
