FWB allen wrenches

Post by hunkerdown »

Hello again. My daughter is shooting a new FWB 800x air rifle. Unfortunately, she trapped one of the allen wrenches in the hinge of the case and broke it. I took a look at the owner's manual, and I could not definitively identify the size of the wrench I need to replace it. Moreover, the one set of metric wrenches I own has mysteriously gone MIA. So, I am looking for help identifying the wrenches I need to buy. It has been suggested to me that I buy the T-handle type of wrenches, and rather than buying a set of 8 or 10 I would like to limit myself to the wrenches I need.

The rifle came with one T-handle wrench that adjusts the largest of the three sizes of screws on the rifle (things like the height of the buttplate), and that we have. The rifle came with two other regular allen wrenches, both of which are smaller than the T-handle wrench that came with the rifle, and since I will be ordering one to replace the one that is broken, I would like to order one of each of the other two sizes.

Could anyone tell me the sizes of the two regular allen wrenches that come with this rifle? Alternatively, could anyone tell me the three different sizes of the screws on this rifle, and by that I will be able to identify the two smaller sizes? Also, should I be buying the ordinary, metric allen wrenches that are readily available at hardware and home improvement stores, or is there something unusual about the wrenches used on these rifles?

Thanks very much for your help!

German rifles typically use 4mm, 3mm, and 2.5mm.
