Re: Need info on FWB800 vs. FWB800X

Or is this absorber simply the oring compression fitting where the shooter loads the pellet, and the bolt closes on said Oring. part # 1780.210.1
For an air tight seal.
The adjustment says 5 minutes movement at a time, which is not much at all.

Re: Need info on FWB800 vs. FWB800X

rsz_1rsz_20221014_104841_-_copy (1).jpg Here is the assembly diagram, thinking it is a cam operated screw adjustment of some kind, to adjust some rubber absorber washer, and should be within its operating range. Will make some phone calls to CC, Pilk,etc. , One possibility is just take it apart and...

Re: Need info on FWB800 vs. FWB800X

rsz_120221012_073234_-_copy.jpg Am trying to make sense of this Absorber, where it is, what does it look like, how to check measurement of adjustment for the absorber? Thinking the manual, the info gets lost in translation. And mine has not any resistance felt anywhere near the 12mm to 17mm window....

Re: Brand New to 10m - Which Rifle

rsz_20220916_175853_-_copy.jpg Did it, new FWB 800x Comp, immediately am very impressed, Standing hold has a really good feel, and much steadier than the C60. I was using it right out of the box and need to make adjustments. I may add some ounces at the muzzle. It is not dancing at all, it is very ...

Re: Rifle rest for offhand stand

Re: Brand New to 10m - Which Rifle

1229-large_default.jpg While we're on the subject, I'm not sure how to tell if I shoot L or R, I can do both with similar results and grouping. So any advice on this would be helpful. I'm right-handed and left-eye dominant. https://oberleenterprises.com/product-category/sighting/sight-shifting/ Als...

My past experience was with a FWB 601 pump, 15K plus shots, 550+ match , 570+ practice. The FWB fits me, I make i...
