Can anyone recommend how can I get the FWB 800 to shoot 16 ftlbs ?

Well the only way I know of is to either make the transfer port bigger or increase hammer spring tension or both. Is it regulated? If so you can also increase reg pressure if it's adjustable. I'm sorry I'm not really knowledgeable about FWB rifles but the same method is for every rifle. Now the question is does someone sell a larger transfer port? Are you going to have to drill a bigger hole in the valve? Where can you get a heavier spring or is it possible to shim the existing spring giving more preload? Those questions I don't really know but I am willing to bet someone here does. Goodluck.

You sure you want to do that bud? I'm all for mods on rifles but that's a pretty sweet gun. I'd leave it be if I were you. Either way you have good taste.

Tuning up those well balanced European guns is usually a bad idea. They have too small of air reservoirs to get good shot count out of them and they have great balance as they are.

Accuracy trumps speed....a hard pill to swallow but absolutely true. It would be a shame to make permanent changes to an inherently accurate gun only to regret it later. Uj

Never heard it being done .... years ago when FT was really getting traction here in the states ( 10+ years ago ) the FWB P-70 was the go too rifle for folks wishing to take a stellar 10m GUN AND JUICE IT UP. Well it took add on plenums and differing spring rates etc to do so being $$$ and then the UGLY HEAD of taking gun that never was designed to thump that hard had accuracy issues due to a questionable interface of barrel to receiver & optic mounting miens.
Buy another purpose made PCP if requiring more power ....

I agree with the dont mess with it but if that is really what you want sell it and purchased the 20.4 Joule (15.x fpe) model. You might contact an authorized dealer and inquire about a conversion but ........... .
