Finished! Thanks Tony for the link to AVA forum.. I did the 'tune' myself. New seals although Maccari lo longer carries the replacement spring. I did check other places that have springs. However the new unit comes only with a tune job.... The 150 was shot very little from what I could tell. The OEM...

FWB 150

So.. after the Annie 250 experience I looked around and picked up a very fine Steyr LG-1/10 for shooting. From the same fella I purchased a FWB 150. The action is really clean but the stock is fractured over the grip. Looks like it was dropped during shipping. No worries though.. I can fix/repair th...

Thank you again Yana, Now I really feel foolish for buying. I wanted one rifle to start out with and it looks like I picked a challenge!!

^^^sorry, forgot to log in.. Thats me up there. And I think I found the pin/screw that you mention and the corresponding hole. Yeah I can see that if the dampener is bad then that hole would tear out because of the re-coil action. I ask.. looking at the photos above, does the small gap between the e...
