    Tuning When did you decide to start working on your springers?

    Add me to the list of those who love your YouTube channel. I started shooting spring-powered rifles when I bought my FWB 124D from Robert Law at ARH in 1979. #18866, and I still own and shoot it. It is on its second rebuild, the last by Motorhead of Northern California. He is a fine tuner and...

    Other eBay Webley LB

    I have had the same problem. When you hit "Buy Now" on every single air pistol that can be bought now, you get a message. I tried to contact eBay with the issue but without success. What does living in California have to do with the problem?

    Other Webley True Pricing

    I have one and owned another. Both are Beeman imports. The lettering is the first to go. A clean one should fetch $350 to $450. Take your time.

    Other Hurricane

    That was a safe queen or very lightly used, as the white lettering is the first to go. Nice Webley!

    What rifles have you bought twice?

    I have bought two Diana 54 Air Kings. Sold the first, and, bought another. Turns out it was a low- powered model made for the English market, I had it re-powered and tuned. I had a TX-200 , but sold it. Later I took a TX-200 HC in trade. I have since put on a walnut left- hand stock and still...

    HW/Weihrauch Acquired a HW30 Delux last week ... Fresh ARH seal, Piston sleeve & fitted guide .. WHOA SMOOTH !!!

    Don't close up just yet. I managed to get my HW35E back, and it never was tuned, What spring do you recommend, and I will get one before mailing you the rifle.

    FWB FWB 124d

    No, I bought it mail order from Robert Law's company in West Virginia. Funny, even though I live in California, I only found out about Beemans later. At one time ,Beeman sold FWB's that ARH had imported,

    FWB FWB 124d

    Congradulations on a great find. I have had 18866 since the spring of 1979. It now has a Vortex spring and tune by Motorhead of North California. It is most accurate, and originally came by way of ARH.

    N/A What Next?

    I have had two TX200's, full size and HC. I have a tuned HW9K7, a Diana 54, a Beeman R7 ( a real sweetheart). An FWB 124D I bought in 1979. The newer FWB Sport rifle in .177. But the 97K and my HW98 are the most accurate. All of them are tuned, but the last mentioned are very accurate and so smooth.

    What's your oldest break barrel (only talking break barrels)

    My oldest is my 1979 FWB-124. Serial #18866, I bought it from ARH, the original when Robert Law had the company. I lived (live) in California, but didn't know about Beeman's. I still own it, and it is in very fine shape, Motorhead rebuilt it last spring, and it shoots like new.

    FWB Sport

    I finally got around to shooting the FWB Sport and the HW98. I had Motorhead of Northern Cal tune both. The FWB Sport is an entirely different rifle post tune. It is accurate and a joy to shoot. I used the HN Barracuda Match 10.65 grain pellet. If you bought one of these rifles, consider having...

    FWB Sport

    I bought number 6 of the last that AOA had for sale in the spring. It buzzed like a doorbell, and so I had Motorhead tear it down. Yes, the spring guide was undersized, and a custom guide was fitted. He mentioned when I picked it up that it was dry. As in no lube. He fixed that, and I will be...
