    WTS Beeman R1 .177 (SOLD!)

    For sale, used Beeman R1, in 0.177 caliber is in great working condition. Stock is actually left handed, but shots great right handed as well. It was tuned by me 10+ years ago with Maccari parts - still have original springs and the Maccari tar, although no longer have more of the Maccari Moly I...

    Watch & Discuss the FX Streamline!

    Don't have any FX gun yet, but I like the regulated, cocking lever, and overall package for the price. Hard to beat :-)

    FWB 602 short gate install

    Higgs, Thank you. I am a self-taught machinist. I started making my own modifications/improvements for high power LED flashlights (back then the Maglite C and D were our host of choice), and instead of relying on parts from others, I got a small lathe, found a great mentor in Illinois...

    FWB 602 short gate install

    I hear you loud and clear on these FWB deserving a good scope. Right now I just have a nice 10x, but Istill feel that it would be nicer with even higher magnification, given the intrinsic accuracy these rifles are capable off :) Will

    FWB 602 short gate install

    I can feel/tell the recoil on all of my PCP's (Theoben Rapid 7 MKII, 22 cal, 20 foot-pounds), Benjamin Discovery (22 cal, tuned to about 17 foot pounds), and very slight on the FWB 602. On the FWB is of course the faintest, since it is only like 6-7 foot pounds, and since the rifle + scope is...

    FWB 602 short gate install

    Thanks Joe for your kind words. Yes, these 600's are not the easiest to scope!. But I am spoiled with them 10M rifles now - putting 5 shots in a hole just a little larger than the pellet at 12 yards is doable when I do my part. Makes me want to save my money to get the FWB PCP Field Target...

    FWB 602 short gate install

    Thanks for the kind words. I sometimes do end up making stuff in my "shop", and I thought about making one from scratch, but having the kit made it much quicker to get the rifle shooting with a scope :) I should add that without the mod, the rifle will not fire. There is another guy on...

    FWB 602 short gate install

    Ebay member nikonos sells a short gate for the FWB 60x rifles that allows for using a scope (which is how I want to use my FWB 602). The new gate needs to be cut, but it took a little bit more work than I expected. Here are the parts that come in the kit on top - the original gate is on the...
