I've had several 65's, one in mid 80's and one recently. They are excellent to shoot. Finally had to give up on it as my cocking issues became more acute (am 83) and got a Morini 162 MI PCP. Never had any issues with the 65. FWB hit a home run with it. Wonderful sights and trigger, but old age...

SOLD on another forum. I bought this pump new in February 2021 from Champions Choice for $179 + $22 shipping, for use with a new Pardini 162MI. I should have done my homework better as I did not realize that the individual doing the pumping needs to weigh at least 240 lbs. to pump a cylinder to...

Just got a Morini 162MI and a Scuba tank. Sold a FWB 65 and a Daisy 777 to make up the difference between its cost and the stimulus. All of the pistol events in my area shut down last March, so I started shooting 10 meter air pistol in my basement. However still managed to continue trap. Anyhow...

I finally just decided to "bite the bullet" or is that pellet (?) and bought a Morini 162MI. I'll sell a couple of air pistols and a firearm or two, and will not have to rely on taxpayers $$$.

I'm downsizing my collection of stuff and came across this critter. It's in excellent condition and is a neat reference/reminder of the past. Will ship it out USPS book rate to USA only, so it might take some time to arrive. Accept PayPal - $10 shipped. First "I'll take it" PM gets it.

This is the pump I'm using:

I'd like to start by thanking every US taxpayer and those idiots in Congress who wildly keep tossing $$$ at the public while gearing up our deficit to new records. That said, I decided to go the PCP route as air pistol is the only shooting sport I am currently actively doing. Normally I shoot...

Thank you, that makes perfect sense.

I posted this a while back on TargetTalk, but have not received any answers; thought I'd try here. I have a FWB 65 that I'm going to place up for sale in a bit as I replaced it with a Morini 162MI due to my advanced age (am 83) and cocking it is getting more difficult for me. The FWB's walnut...

MDriskill - Tried your recommended way to cock the 65. Tucked right elbow tight into my body. Worked great. Shot a really good 30-shot group without getting tired. Decided I don't need to get a PCP; though will probably will keep my eyes out for a FWB 100 pump for giggles. Thank you very much...

Background - I was a serious air pistol competitor from the early 1980's until I moved from MD to WV in 2005. Started our with a Daisy 717, then FWB 65, then Walther CP2&3. Local IWLA held indoor matches all winter. Also participated in regional tryouts. After moving quit shooting air pistol and...

I picked up the 65 yesterday and shot it today. It seems to be working fine, so hopefully should not need a trip for service. I'm going to ramble a bit about it. Got it from the original owner, it was made in 1986 (S/N in 134K range), has some light freckling on the cocking lever, otherwise in...

Am tempted to get one with my next US stimulus waste of taxpayer's dollars. Figure about $1K for the pistol + $300 for an air tank. Have gotten back into 10 meter shooting (remotely) competition using a Daisy 777, and in the process of buying a FWB 65. At 83, can handle a 30 shot match (current...

Folks - Thanks for the info. I'm picking the pistol up on Friday. Will follow up on its condition after I get it. He switched to a Hammerlli PCP when he got tired of cocking the 65. I really don't need it, so will have to sell something else as am in a downsizing mode.

I'm in the process of buying a FWB 65 from an old friend who is having health issues and is downsizing his stuff. It possibly might need a rebuild. Wondering who the forum recommends for this old critter? Appreciate any suggestions.

Odoyle - can you provide a link?

I was a serious air pistol shooter in the dim-distant past, even making the US Olympic tryouts several times in the 1980's for 10 meter air pistol. Was using good equipment for the times (FWB 65, Walther CP-2/CP-3). Later moved to just club 10 meter pistol using a Baikal IZH. Relocated to WV in...
