Old school FWB 124 surprise

[Wadcutter]

What happened to JohnyPiston? I enjoyed his posts but he's not been around for a couple years.

Zero expectations. Then this happened.

Beautiful and stunning Walnut beaver tail stock with the original multi-coat epoxy gloss finish, mint action (mesmerizing bore), original manual, original invoice from Robert Law's Air Rifle Headquarters, test targets shot by Mr. Law while owner was present in the establishment, spare parts: sling swivels and trigger shoe look new (haven't removed them from packing yet), washers, front sight post inserts, breech seal. Not in photos is a 124 beech stock which came with the ensemble.

What's not to be happy about?

Did you glass bed the action ?

I am practicing with my FWB 124D for the Pyramid Cup Gunslynger competition. It is going better than expected, and I feel better about my chances in the first round not being beaten by that 10-year-old girl using a pink Red Ryder.

FWB FANatics, trust me, I am over the moon with this beauty!

Thanks guys, it's nice when the springgunning universe conspires in our favor.

This rifle has been very well taken care of and was shot sparingly by the original owner.

Will need to decide what to do with it: send it to Paul Watts for further refinement, or preserve and conserve AS IS for future generations?

I would be very careful about sending the gun to Paul …. You can PM me if you want.
