Well it's accurate enough even with open sights at 20 yards!!! But WOW what Gamo sounding twanger! Really harsh shot cycle!
Will be taking her apart this weekend for some grooming before it gets a scope.
I got it from a friend. Just been sitting in his safe!Nice Chuck ! How did you come across one as they are a hard find ?
Got a seal on the way! And while I wait I'm gonna take her apart and head to a friend's house to make a new rear spring guide and probably chop a coil or two off the spring.Check the piston seal fit on the piston when you have it apart, make sure it seems good and secure. They had some issues with poor retention. ARH makes a new seal for it, just in case.
On that note, make sure it's sealing well and the seal is snug to the tube. Most were pretty loose, and some had funky tube tolerances. A new seal that's sized for your gun would be a good investment IMO while it's apart.
A good fitting seal and a little spring reduction will tame it quite a bit.
Enjoy it, nice looking gun! Looking forward to seeing how you like it. Keep us posted!
Good find ! I'm sure alot of that harsh firing behavior is a result of the stoutI got it from a friend. Just been sitting in his safe!
But last I checked AoA still had a few in stock. Probably the last to be had !
Let us know how it turns out once you get it installed, cool to meet Tom. I really enjoy my FWB Sport, i had Motorhead service and tune mine, it is starting to settle in at 760 fps w FTT at 4600ft elevation. I have Vortek installed on my TX200 .177 12ft. lb kit and one on my HW80 .22, FAC one on my HW77k .20 FAC all super.Meeting up with Tom from Vortek at the Mid Michigan airgun show tomorrow to get my spring kit for this FWB....
Think the tube is ok and yes was looking to detune it some. The piston stroke on this gun is only 3.5 inches and factory spring was harsh ! It's not an R1 more like a HW35 in it's build.11.5ish FPE out of a 30mm powerplant?
Were you aiming for a low power tune?
How did the tube dimensions feel?
My HW35 tuned by John in PA has mine with same power level as my FWB Sport.Think the tube is ok and yes was looking to detune it some. The piston stroke on this gun is only 3.5 inches and factory spring was harsh ! It's not an R1 more like a HW35 in it's build.
