Very interesting about your bore. A squib is about a terrifying though. I ensured that my bore was nice and clean before the problem really manifested itself thinking that the lack in accuracy was related to the bore's path.
Nice choice in rest. I miss mine.

Re: 22LR, single shot, bolt action rifle, 7 oz trigger capab
CZ has got one that fits the bill. CZ 455 Varmint with mag insert to make single shot. Think I'm going that way. With that FLY trigger or whatever it's called, CZ should have what you're looking for if the single shot adapter has a loading ramp that is suitable for you. I say that because no single...

Re: FWB 602 - Two rifles, two problems
Rifle number two has what is apparently a reasonably common problem for these rifles from what I've seen searching for a solution. What solved it for everyone else (new seals) didn't help me though that's where I would start on both of the rifle if I were you. Since rifle number 1 sounds normal dry ...

Re: FWB 601 - Cylinder not fully depleting
I had the same problem. I fixed it by changing the seal on the release value. I think the seal was moving forward when the air was released blocking some of the air. Changed that seal. Twice actually. It's looking like the issue has been resolved by replacing the firing pin spring (again), but with...

Re: 22LR, single shot, bolt action rifle, 7 oz trigger capab
Doodaddy, is the 82G still available from the CMP? Else where can I find? Thanks for the reply If it were still listed at the CMP you'd have no issues staying under $600, but unfortunately they're not. They pop up in classifieds across various forums. I see them mostly on RFC and Gunbroker. It will...

Re: 22LR, single shot, bolt action rifle, 7 oz trigger capab
Looking for suggestions on a single shot, bolt action 22 with a bull barrel (1" or less diameter), that I can take the trigger down to 7oz, or that has a easy replacement option for the trigger that can go down to 7 oz. I really need a two stage trigger that is crisp in stage two with little o...

Had two perfect transactions from them and Nick is very quick and helpful with questions as well.

Re: FWB 601 - Cylinder not fully depleting
sounds like the spring pressure of the hammer block is not set properly after installing the new seals. The hammer block is not correctly opening the air release valve. On the upstroke, the pressure in the cylinder decreases (piston moves backwards) and the spring of the hammer block has enough pow...

Re: FWB 601 - Cylinder not fully depleting
So far no luck. I bought a chronograph (needed one anyway) and measured the velocity of the rifle at around 20 feet. I was averaging 421-427fps with H&N Baracuda Match 10.65 grains.
I'm officially at a loss.

Re: FWB 601 - Cylinder not fully depleting
I'm hoping to figure it out and get it posted here. I've searched around and see that many have had the issue, but with no clear resolution.

Re: FWB 601 - Cylinder not fully depleting
Sorry to hear that. Every one we have worked on either had issues with low pressure during the shot, or not using all of the available air (kind of what you are experiencing with air still present after firing). If you fire the gun and reset the trigger by opening the pellet loading gate, and re-fi...

Re: FWB 601 - Cylinder not fully depleting
Changed that too.
If I fire the rifle and do not recock it immediately, I can leave it over night and the pressure is still held the next morning. For whatever that's worth.

FWB 601 - Cylinder not fully depleting
Earlier this year I picked up a Feinwerkbau 601SSP. Loved the gun for a while, but I've reached a point of frustration. After firing on the upstroke during the cocking process, a chuffing sound from the barrel occurs from a release of air pressure. It hasn't always done that. Once it started, the po...
