New member here. Just thought I'd share a few photos. Don't see these too often.
I was able to buy the proper battery right on Amazon and easy install, works fine.
Not for sale, just sharing. Already gifted to a close friend.

Nice. I just got an 80 about six weeks ago. I think I still prefer a mechanical trigger, it will probably be around for my grandson, don't know about the electronics.

I was excited the electronic trigger came to life with a new battery. I think the pistol had sat unused for years. Lucky the battery didn’t leak.

They have a reputation for issues with the solenoid/circuit board but I have one and no issues with it. The model 90 came as MKI (long barrel) and a MKII (shorter barrel) just like the 65 did.

here are my FWB sidelever pistols. (top) 65 MKII with clamp on barrel weight, 80 with just one of 3 barrel weights (bottom) 65MKI with barrel sleeve & 90 MKI.

I would like to get a trigger like on that 90 to go on my 80, the widr shoe that can be pivioted. I have one like that on my IZG 46m and it fits the finger very well.

Here's a link for anyone looking to replace the battery for the electronic trigger in one of these.
$12.95 and fairly easy to install.

There's a guy on eBay that's selling adapters for the old Morini CM162 and Model 90. It's housing a stack of ten AG10/LR54 batteries. The solenoid actually feels a tiny bit snappier with this adapter than the A220 battery. But that is a very subjective observation... I have switched out the posts that comes with the adapter with ø6x3mm N35 magnets. Works like a charms!

On the Model 80 and Model 90 you can use the triggers from the older FWB Co2 pistols and newer PCP pistols, and the vario-trigger from the P8X.

Ok, but where to find such parts.

I don't know who sells FWB in the US, but a search for "feinwerkbau trigger" on eBay resulted in hits, among others a seller who is located in Canada.

first off, the FWB 80 and FWB 90 use the same trigger group 1871.130.2
and the trigger stays the same as the models change even the 100 series is using the same trigger blade and carrier
