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:

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)?

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...

By my calculations 11mm = 0.433", not .011"

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...

I can only assume that as all of the other dimensions are in mm/cm then that one is too.

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

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...
