Just finished up these little mods this evening. Gun fits me much better now. Total cost in PLA plastic less than a dollar.

I design and draw in FreeCAD, slice with Simplify S3D V5, print on a SeeMeCNC Artemis ( delta ) printer.

It was broken when I got it, so I repaired it and stripped it down to the bare white wood. Handed it off to a guitar maker friend and asked him to shoot a nice poly coat on it next time he was doing a guitar. Well, the next axe he built was a three color sunburst Strat, so this is what I got...

Thanks for all the insights and suggestions. I used a C-clamp. a couple bits of scrap hardwood, a V block and my desk to achieve these results. Gun was reassembled with new seals, a plastic liner around the spring and lubed appropriately. Front sight still has a riser block under it, but the...

And here I'm thinking these guns are precision tools ... guess I need to recalibrate my sensibilities. Thanks for the reality check. I have a truck and a hammer, so I'm good to go.

Yessir, that's very helpful, most especially the insight that the bend is likely right at the juncture with the breech block. Thanks ! We have some fancy measuring tools in the metrology department where I work, and a granite table with a dead flat surface. Also a computer controlled...

That seems a little extreme - it actually shoots well, just off to the left a bit. All the internal parts were still in it when I got it, and they're still in there right now, although I have ordered some new seals, a spring and some lube stuff. I did read about bear trapping the other day...

I was given a beat up 124 back around 1993 or so. The stock was broken at the pistol grip, the barrel had some pitting and missing blueing, but otherwise it was more or less intact. I repaired the stock and had a luthier friend spray a poly finish over it. Once it was reassembled, I...

My kit is a little different than Wadcutter's Pro Kit. Here's what I have : spacer measures 1.160" from spring contact surface to the other contact surface, no centralizer stub. Spring is 29 coils, 8.625" length, 0.815" OD, 0.555"ID, wire OD 0.127".

Yessir, that appears to be exactly what I have, although I didn’t measure the wire diameter. Thanks for the comparison photo. In your experience, does this constitute a perceptible upgrade ?

OK, so with some additional research I've concluded that I have some version of a tune kit, similar to, if not actually, a Maccari kit. There is a delrin spacer up in the piston to provide some extra load to the short spring. Since everything looks clean and tidy, I'll just replace the piston...

I'm bringing my FWB 124 Sport back into service, after years of letting it languish at the back of the vault. It shoots kinda OK, but I want to get it in top form. I've watched few videos, and read the PyramydAir 3-part blog about overhauling one of these, so I got into this afternoon. Built...

Your checkering friend does great work. Those little plain patches within the pattern are difficult, not to mention the double border lines. This bottom picture shows the parallel "corn rows" nicely, which is the benchmark of precision checkering. That's real artwork, right there. Nice gun...

I'll be stopping by Home Depot today, for sure.

That's gotta weigh a ton by now ... good shooting !

That looks pretty good, but do any pellets go completely through ? I'm thinking I might use one indoors.

That’s an impressive array of targets, but I have to ask - where did the pickle barrels come from ?
