KevinW, Yes, I have a new seal kit in hand and am looking forward to opening the gun up. Foest.eu has been a good source for seal kits. So your experience was that you first received your used FWB80 it was unlocking abruptly during cocking then locking again at the end of the cocking stroke, but tha...

Gwhite, Come again? Which part of the recocking process are you thinking of? Are you saying that you cock it with the action unlocked (back, out of battery) and then the last part of the cocking lever arc not only resets the sear and locks the piston back but also moves the action forward into batte...

Question for the Feinwerkbau cognescenti - Is it normal, or within range of normal function, for the sledge/action to intermittently unlock during the cocking sequence? For example - after firing, I nudge the sledge/action forward so it locks in battery, then pull the cocking lever back to cock and ...

Why not start with a used Feinwerkbau 65 or 80 (recoilless springs air) and save up for a Steyr evo10 or Steyr LP50. =]

Thanks, All, for your responses. As you may have guessed, I recently got an FWB65 as a change of pace from my LP50 (which I really like). The sledge is releasing and moving partway back, then rebounding forward faster than the eye can see during the firing cycle. (I can put a thumb up a little ways ...

What does the FWB65 feel like to shoot? Does the sledge simply move back with no recoil or apparent sight movement and come to rest in a rear position, like with the FWB300S? If the sledge moves partway back and then rebounds forward back into battery on its own during the firing cycle with 8.2gr/0....
