Is this rifle a so called 'Stutzen' or 'Stutzer'? It looks a little like a 'Drilling' but i'm not sure if this kind of hunting rifle was yet invented at that time. I'm not really good when it comes to rifle history.

Sorry Rover, also Germany is small in comparison to the US, Stuttgart is for me a little to fare away only for drinking a beer with an shooting friend. An for an Sauerlander Stuttgart is also always little short of foreign country. ;-) You know, the region i talk to Ulrich is the Sauerland, the land...

Hi Rover, we rifle shooters are smart. We know about the importance of pellet testing and we do it. So we don't need to talk always about it. Look at this result: http://meisterschuetzen.org/thread/5313-stammschiessen-2015/?postID=63425#post63425 You can't shoot that without a really good rifle and ...

Hi friends, i do agree with all as jet stated arguments against this rhythmic clapping and against this man made noise with instruments and so on. It is rude behaviour and it is so much disrespectful towards the shooters and i also don't like it as a spectator. For me it's a shame that some of the I...

So Bob i guess you quit shaving and now use your shaving brush to clean rifles? Hihi, after watching this fine picture i was thinking about the necessity to shave these Walthers. Does it make them only look more fine or will it also improve theirs accuracy? Never shaved as jet my Anni or my Diana. ...

Hi all, For standard velocity ammo it looks like you should print 13.4 inches high at 50 yards or have 25.6 minutes on the sight. but that seems to me only true for centre your shots at 200 yards. Here in Germany we have a popular traditional match shooting small bore rifle at 100 meters in the stan...

There must be a dirty secret behind this shooting pants. Mine do this shrinking also, especially over the winter season. There must be a big conspiracy behind that. There can't be another serious reason.

Is there anything wrong with this fine beer from the Czechs? Or do you mean this rice brew thing from this faithless Germans named Anheuser and Busch? Sure, rice in beer is better (and much saver) then crocodile bile but why wasting time if you can get an Original Tannenzaepfle from the Black Forres...

Dear Guys and Girls in the colonies,

before you start some funny experiments, i can tell you,

we Krauts had some good reasons to invent the German Purity Law in 1516.

Hi Andre, not really sure, but it seems to me you are not using real shooting boots. But for good kneeling they are really important. You need a shoe with a strong flat and in the front not to much rounded sole. Second you need a kneeling roll with the right diameter so that your weight is spread ne...

Allen or hexagon socket head cap screw ISO 4762 or DIN 912 M3x20mm and the Allen wrench size is 2.5mm.

Hi, here you can find some exploded drawings from most the FWB rifles including spare parts lists. http://www.feinwerkbau.de/en/Service+Download/Exploded-drawings Not sure about the local representatives of FWB in the States but you can ask FWB in Germany direct for that screw. Normal they do a good...

Hallo, i have not much knowledge about shooting sport suppliers in that region of Germany, but if this question is still current, then i can ask some shooters there. But you have to know that most of the smaller suppliers have not so much assortment in theirs shops if it comes to shooting clothing a...

Hi David, as Tim says the front sight holder diameter is 22 mm and the factory build in element size is 3.8 mm and it is an crystal clear transparent insert. On the FWB site you can find some exploded drawings of most of theirs products including spare parts lists. http://www.feinwerkbau.de/en/Servi...

Hi,

also a little complicated to explain the reason a to much front heavy rifle can increase this grouping in the horizontal.

... so hopefully from your 13.6 mm (10.5) group around 90% of your shots ought to make it into the 10.9 Here comes an test report from the Eley testing range in Germany and shows an at that time new testing record. The test shows a 40 shoots test with an 13,4 edge to edge group. But even this outst...

Ha. Here in Germany an old saw says, the most stupid farmers have always the biggest potatoes. ;-)

Have you already seen the 25m Sport Pistol Finals? If not, it's absolute worth to watch, especially the Bronze Medal match. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTpSaebs1sk&list=UUcFugrtlMtDmX1yMp6x_C0Q As jet i didn't know anything about the Hungarian shooting lady, but as of now she has at least one...

Really interesting. But this special serial number starting with 1813 could be pure chance. Rifles form that time have six digit numbers in that number range and that X after the number. Lets put all together. The old text, the X number, the barrel with the dovetails are speaking for an (late) 1613....

Hi fast996, your Anni is really interesting because one theory or better to say rumor says, the X number stand for a slotted bolt and X numbers were only used for the 16XX series As i saw your pictures first, i thought, it must be an 1613 because of the X number and the dovetail blocks on the barrel...
