Feinwerkbau 124 Sport

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I have had numerous people tell me that it was impossible to shoot chipmunks at 50 yards offhand with a (2.5x SS-1 scoped) bbgun and proven them wrong. Of course, most people back then, even today, don't know what good airguns can do, unless they are on these forums.

The old springers are certainly capable... I've had quite a few over the years. The only one that is still in the safe is my Theoben Shirroco (I know... not really a springer). Springers are a wonderfully elegant design though.

Magnums (like a FWB 124) are tricky to shoot well. They will magnify your shortcomings. A shooter just picking one up and expecting performance like you describe will be quickly discouraged. Shooting as mentioned above is much more about your ability than the gun. I don't doubt you at all... I'm impressed.

Hi guys, I'm new here and I have a SN 42xxx 124 Standard that I bought in 1982 for $150 slightly used. I paid less for a brand new Ruger 10/22 and my dad thought I was crazy until he saw how well it shot! Well, I was 18 at the time and shot a lot of targets and varmints with it, my brother managed break the stock by releasing the safety and pulling the trigger while loading it. I did a typical 19 year old style hack job repair, but it has lasted all these years.

Life happened and eventually it was put in a gun case and forgotten. I recently bought a place out in the country and rediscovered it in the process of moving.

The seal is totally; shot no surprise there, but I would like to get it back into service. I saw the link for the rebuild kit and will order one, I am pretty sure I can handle that without putting my eye out with a flying spring LOL

And since I'm no longer 19, I would like to find a replacement stock also. Finding any stock seems to be quite the unicorn, but perhaps someone here could point me in the right direction? A standard in your closet, or one replaced with a Deluxe? I don't really need a deluxe...

Thanks,

Rick

Hi all, I am brand new to this site and found this conversation through my recent acquisition of a 124D. I am trying to establish if my gun has been rebuilt or not and I saw a reference to inspecting the transfer port with a flashlight. I have gone so far as to remove the action from the stock but I’m not sure what to look for, can someone share a photo that shows the plunger location? Thank you in advance.

A stock will be hard to find. Aftermarket would be easier but still going to be difficult.
