    HW/Weihrauch Williams sights - FP-GR fit issue

    I have an older Williams sight on my FWB 124d. I got it from Beemans back in the mid 1970's. It does not have that adjustable "gib" on the right side that is tightened by those two tiny screws. It taps onto the dovetail snugly then has a set screw to secure, after removing the elevation...

    N/A What was your First Airgun?

    A FWB 124d back in the first quarter of 1975. Still have it. Had to have it resealed twice over the years.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    We have a few squirrels that frequent our feeder. My wife enjoys their antics so I leave them alone. Really like seeing them around,as long as they do no damage I like seeing them, same with raccoons and possums.

    Absolutely beautiful! My kind of guns, but probably out of my price range for most.

    N/A peep sight on a hw50s

    I have more of my guns equipped like this than scopes. Even with a lower power scope I see just too much of my unsteadiness, not so much with an aperture. One advantage of some scopes is like a mil dot, or similar reticule with hash marks so you can learn and estimate drop at various ranges...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Nothing today. I had my eyes checked, and of course they dilated them, so avoiding bright light.

    Crosman 2300s Trigger Job?

    I cannot remember where I got mine from alchemyairwerks on ebay. I polished the area on the sear bar where the trigger (roller) contacts it I actually worked several 2240 variants for myself, son and grandson some with supersears and some with complete 1701p trigger conversions. Oveall the...

    HW/Weihrauch 95 field pro, Beech vs Walnut

    Air Arms Pro Sport Question

    I read this and took my pro sport for some quick shooting. It had been a long time since I shot it, and forgot how hard it is to cock, until I remembered the best way for me. When I first got it I was handling it entirely wrong. Somehow I was grasping the cocking lever with my right hand and...

    FWB FWB 124d

    Never thought of that. I sent a $13,000 shotgun off for repairs in one of those cases with no problem. I guess a gun should slip in that eggshell foam padding, but think it would be hard. A few holes and some zip ties or strong string could eliminate that problem. When I am shipping a gun...

    cleaners, lubricants, and protectants...

    I tried moly coating once. My hands got black from handling the bullets. HBN is a white powder, and is used in some cosmetic products, like lipstick, lotions, creams and shampoos to impart a feeling of slickness. It is non toxic,

    FWB FWB 124d

    When I sent my FWB124d in to David Slade, he said leave the stock on. The triggers tend to break off if struck and replacements are unavailable. He recommended packing so the stock would not break. I ended up putting the gun in one of the hard shell plano type cases and that in a larger...

    cleaners, lubricants, and protectants...

    Plus one on that. Been doing it for years. I even tried coating bullets for my centerfire rifles using HBN powder. The .223 cal bullets came out so slick that they were hard to pick up.. I have mixed it in some light grease for use on things like handgun slide. or camming surfaces like on an...

    FWB FWB 124d

    Nice, that's one of the better looking beech stocks I have seen. Mine is similarly equipped, but my reciever sight which I got from Beeman around mid 1976 is simply stamped Williams. I did replace the factory globe front with an Anschutz globe so I can change the inserts, I also have a...

    FWB FWB 124d

    No argument there, My first 124d is definetely beech. I picked up another used in fantastic shape and I honestly cannot tell. It is redder than most of the beech stocked guns I have seen and the grain just does not look like beech. I hesitate to call it walnut but it may be. I have a mid...

    FWB Took the 601 Out For a Few

    Nice. I need to get my 602 out and try offhand like that. Like you said it is heavy. We had the first really cool day in about six weeks and a light rain shower early so I got out and mowed the yard since there would be no dust blowing Like you I am 80 and decided that I am not going to...
