Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

That's better! After replacing all the FAS seals again, I put my HW75 in the FAS box, threw the sieve called a FAS 6004 in the bin, and now everything is ok!

Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

Hi! The air leak happens when I close the cocking lever either before fully closed or after - you can hear the air leak. It can then leak - not gradually but all at once - whilst just holding the pistol with an audible release of air at different lengths of time from a second to a minute. It just le...

Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

I have, after putting my useless, frustrating, leaking FAS 6004 at the back of the wardrobe last year, bought new sets of seals. This is a new pistol that after 500 pellets through it, leaked like crazy. Originally there was just enough power to propel a pellet through it - after a box of pellets th...

Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

I have a new FAS6004 (bought in May 2015 I think). Wish I had not bought it. Weirauch 75 is a much better pistol. Cheaper, better made, better trigger, better everything, although much harder to cock. (makes my elbow hurt!). I don't use the FAS anymore, it is too underpowered.

Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

Ok, now for a further review of my new FAS 6004! Very frustrating trigger. I cannot get the timing right for my optimum "still" time due to trigger release variation. First you touch the trigger, it goes off, next you have to squeeze hard to release the shot. Trigger weight variation was b...

Re: fas 6004 trigger adjustment

The response is much appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to reply with good, clear instruction and description of the working of the trigger. I shall now be able to set my trigger armed with a working knowledge of what I am doing.

fas 6004 trigger adjustment

Does anybody know how to adjust the fas 6004 trigger? - because it is a mystery to me! The diagram provided with the pistol and the instructions use words like "drop point" which are unknown to me.

Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

Sorry about that. I meant the rear sight was rammed down tight as far as it would go and I had to use a bit of force with a 1p coin to release the screw. When I took delivery of the pistol from the shop he said "I've had a go with it and it seems ok as some of these shoot high!!!" I was pe...

Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

Nice one!! I'm disappointed, but glad I can do the refurbs to a better standard than they can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (retired toolmaker) I would not like to read these things on the net about my product, but they could use it to improve. A few more things. The sealing o ring is: BS ISO 3601-1-A0067. (1,78 ...

Re: Anybody have a new FAS 6004?

Hi all! Just taken delivery of the new ambi grip (me being left handed) FAS 6004. Here is my opinion so far. Handle was loose as supplied? Had to find a 3mm allen key. The rear sight was set too low and had to adjust. It was tight and seeing posts where the thread had stripped was very hesitant abou...
