We ran across the website for the clone of the FWB 65 by accident, today. It seems it is made by a company called Industry Brand, in the US:

Re: Chinese clone of FWB 65
For the price of a FWB 65 clone, you can get a second hand FWB 65 in good shape for a little bit more money...

Quite true. The collectors on this forum have expressed interest in this pistol, in the past, though.

Am I reading that page correctly? 11mm group (at 10 meters, I presume)?

Re: Chinese clone of FWB 65
The FWB 65 has an accuracy of .04"-.09"/1-2mm c-t-c (with the right pellet), the chinese clone is at .011" which is not shabby at all, but build quality is lacking...divingin wrote:Am I reading that page correctly? 11mm group (at 10 meters, I presume)?

Re: Chinese clone of FWB 65
The Chinese have a habit of misprinting information, I do believe it is .011". There have been reports that the clone is just as accurate as the original...David Levene wrote:By my calculations 11mm = 0.433", not .011"kevinweiho wrote:The FWB 65 has an accuracy of .04"-.09"/1-2mm c-t-c (with the right pellet), the chinese clone is at .011" which is not shabby at all, but build quality is lacking...divingin wrote:Am I reading that page correctly? 11mm group (at 10 meters, I presume)?

I can only assume that as all of the other dimensions are in mm/cm then that one is too.kevinweiho wrote:The Chinese have a habit of misprinting information, I do believe it is .011".

If we don't believe that the "mm" is correct then why should we believe the "11"?

Re: Chinese clone of FWB 65
David, the only way you'll believe which "measurement" is correct is by shooting both pistols side by side and then you won't have any doubts...
Well, seeing is believing like they say...

Maybe they're measuring outer diameter of group..................................
