Hi, No Problem. Yes, the walls on my FWB 100 are not polished smooth. I suspect the non smooth finish retains some of the grease and this along with the piston seal is what allows it to retain the good seal over thousands of operations. Now you have cleaned and lubed it it will probably feel better ...

Hi,

I wrote a complete strip guide with photos for my FWB 100. The 103 is very similar.

See here.

Depending on how confident you are I have given a full written description of how to strip and service the pistol as well.

The extract from the manual. http://i699.photobucket.com/albums/vv357/cones_stuff/Feinwerkbau%20100%20Strip%20Down/RikaTargetChanger007Large.jpg So it was always intended to be able to shoot at 492 fps.

I also have a FWB 103 and this has the same pump piston setup. Here :- http://www.cones-stuff.co.uk/Feinwerkbau%20Model%20103.htm That shoots at 520 fps. I suspect if the 100 is only doing 400 fps it needs either new seals fitting or the pump piston needs lubricating with Feinwerkbau special grease ...

That was with 7gn Geco's but the 7gn R10 Match are very similar maybe only 10 fps slower.

The pump dumps air on the next charging stroke, there is so much in reserve.

An electronic trigger uses a microswitch to trigger the sear release via a solenoid. It has the advantage of constant pressure over a mechanical trigger. When the shot breaks the electronic trigger does not suddenly change pull weight. It stays the same. So some people prefer the feel over the mecha...

The Feinwerkbau 90 is probably as near to the 65 as you can get and have dry fire. It has an electronic trigger system. You get the solenoid click on pulling the trigger without the need to cock the action.

Is the plastic spacer that fits under the action in the grip missing? If so this will create the problem you are having.

It is normally fitted on the LP10 and removed to fit the LP50 action.
