Pardini, Pardini, Pardini! Get the new SP or go for the SP-1 if tou like electronic triggers which are very good for dry firing and practicing. The SP1RF has a lighter slide for faster action and the weight is compensated with tungsten absorbers at the tip of the barrel. You can shoot RF with the re...

Hello members, I just wanted to add something about my experience with FWB... Newer doesn't necessarily mean "Better” (P-56 vs. P-58)...I have both guns: A brand new P-58 and a 1 year old P-56. The P-55 (antecessor of the P-56) got a bad reputation earlier in its life, but then FWB upgraded the...

Dear pfxsys, There have been absolutely no recalls for any of the FWB 700's... The stocks are what make these guns different…. All of the 700's (Aluminum, Universal and Basic) are MECHANICALLY IDENTICAL up to the very last screw and the differences are only cosmetic. The Basic has an aluminum color ...

Dear Guest Twenty, As Richard says...It will not be damaged because of the cold, it would be damaged because of the moisture or condensation of water that will in turn generate corrosion... The rule of thumb is to freeze your CO2 cylinder (1 hour in the freezer is enough) and then to fill it with CO...

Hi Muffo, Very unfortunately this particular kit was only offered for the models that followed the Mod 2 ... In my opinion they were asking a lot of money for it (about $500.00 US or more)... If you added this to the money that you would get for selling your CO2 pistol plus very little cash would ge...

Kadgarth, My humble advice would be to buy a used rifle, get the 8002 or a FWB 700 Basic; this later one is IDENTICAL to the 700 aluminum or to the 700 Universal and the difference relies just in the stock; I have both the Basic and the Aluminum so I know this for a fact.... Also consider Walther an...

I totally agree with you Tycho...Shoot CO2 with CO2 and AIR with Air...Keeping things simple and uncomplicated eliminates many variables...

The conversion kit was not that cheap either...

Dear Muffo, I freeze the CO2 cylinders before filling them, and of course, I then use the bleeding adaptor for getting the exact TARA + CO2 charge using an OHAUS very accurate scale. The cylinders need to somewhat be "normalized" after being filled, otherwise the frozen valves in the cylin...

Hello Members, Absolutely, this is how CO2 and Air mechanisms operate... The Mod 2 has the pressure regulator in the CO2 cylinders and later CO2 models have them in the frame (pistol itself). The reason was to have one regulator (in the pistol) for as many CO2 cylinders used vs. one regulator per cy...

Hi again Hdoan, Only 3 things can cause this recoil that you mention: 1. The recoil lock screw 2. The recoil guide in the front part of the gun and 3. The recoil guide in the rear part of the gun located above the grips in the frame behind the trigger. Most likely is going to be #2 ...Check that it ...
