New guy with feinwerkbau 65/80 questions.

[Ferrets Bueller]

Hi guys
My mine is Paul I live in the north west of England.

I recently bought a FWB 80 it was missing one of the 0.05mm shim washers fitted to the rear of the recoil guide I've Now another made one out of a 0.05 mm feeler gauge. Ive got three 0.05 shims in front of thr guide and one at the rear and It now shoots and the action recoils backwards but I can still feel a little recoil in comparison my diana 6g feels more dead to fire than the 80, so have I got the correct amount of shims in the correct place.

Im I right in thinking if I push it forward itll move around forward to back, and once cocked it'll move around freely or should it lock in the forward position?

I've just bought a maccari mainspring and seal set for it from maccari, Ive also read that the cylinder should run almost dry, but am I right in thinking the compression tube wall should be lightly lubed with some moly? Or should I get the proper fwb lube. Should I leave the mainspring dry too.


Sorry for all the questions I'm just a little lost with this pistol.

Regards paul
