What springer did you shoot today?

I bought a Rowan trigger for a LGU 2 years ago. Still in a drawer. Gives me the heebie-jeebies. I have the spring and piston seal now so. A job coming up. Crow

Got the second FWB 150 back from resealing by David Slade. Put the diopter sight back on and shot a few times at my swinger target. Did not need any sight adjustments. I put a Gehmann 522 adjustable iris on the front globe and really like it,

I’m envious you have a tuner to use. I know of no one here and to ship guns over border a major hassle.
That 150 is a beauty. Crow

Yes! April and May, taxes then two major birthdays, and Mothers Day.
Shhh, I'm buying a Zero turn for Fathers Day.
My 1987 snapper deserves retirement.

beerthief its absorbent paper my wife uses to wipe down the kitchen surfaces. I use because it’s cheap and doesn’t make any noise. I used to use photo copy paper by the ream and it would eco around the valley when hit. Scared off the pest opportunities.

Went into town today and picked up another HW30 .22. today at Post Office. This is a beauty with a Rowan trigger. I’m leaving the iron sites on. 
I have plans for this one. 
I like the feel of this trigger. Crow

I'm surprised they didn't use the short screw. Although the brass one they supply often fits much looser, which is why I usually cut down the factory screw and use it instead.

The screws they supply are awful. I don't need set back, my hands are XXL gloves don't fit, but I've made shorter screws for people to replace the Chinese looking Rowans. Their slots are too wide and sloppy.

I cut my slots cleaner with a hacksaw than they do with whatever they use..lol.The screws they supply are awful. I don't need set back, my hands are XXL gloves don't fit, but I've made shorter screws for people to replace the Chinese looking Rowans. Their slots are too wide and sloppy.

Love those Feinwerkbau's ! I got my first back in either late 1974 or early 75, shortly after I got back from a military tour in Turkey. Picked up a 300s about ten years later, the just a few years back really got started. I got two of the newer Sport models. I had one for the better part of a year when I learned they were discontinuing them and I found a dealer with some NIB at a good price. Early this year I got a 602 Meistergrade, and then two of the 150's over the last couple of months. Let's not forget two each of the model 65 and 80 pistols.
That 602 action is rather unique, especially the dry firing feature. Two downsides, it is really heavy or at least seems much heaver than the 150 and 300, and the cocking or charging effort is much harder.

Thanks, I couldn’t say no.
Ha ha. Don’t need valet. I have an elevator to transport up and down. Can take several. Crow
I wasn’t into guns back in the day, period. Didn’t hunt like my brother and dad. Thought Diana was one of only pellet gun companies around. Had a few 24’s. Had no idea about FWB’s or any others. You have 50 years on me. Lucky
I haven’t spent much time looking at these FWB’s, but what I have seen is stunning. Perfection.
A 124 is on my bucket list.
What happened to these guns? Did PCP replace these?

Yep, from the looks of things FWB went from springers to SSP then PCP. They also make some rimfire target guns, but have never seen any.
I have been into guns most of my almost 80 year life. Dad started me sitting in his lap when I was about 4 years old with an old Colt Woodsman .22 semi auto pistol, then three years later got me a Marlin 39a, .22LR lever action rifle, which I still have. Shot smallbore match for a few years in college. I have done some hunting but honestly do not care about killing anything. I would much rather punch holes in paper, or even better tin cans. Skeet shooting is also a lot of fun, I really got into it big time when I was in Turkey and all we could have was shotguns.
