I have one just like it. Great gun! You will be surprised what a 12 lb gun can do. But for ease of loading, would strongly recommend you change the angle of the cocking lever for shooting FT. ie: push lever forward to cock. To do so, you will have to turn the lever over and rotate 180 degrees so the flat end of the lever is parallel to the receiver

FWB 800 Field Target without the air tube in place. I would love to try one of them out and see how it fits me. Super nice and accurate rifle, congrats RonT!

Another suggestion I forgot to tell you about. My buddies and myself have purchased a manometer that replaces the original that allows you to fill the gun without removing the air tube via a probe thus alleviating the the wear and tear on the air tube threads which are aluminum. The website is Josef1000. This person is in the Chech Republic, but is a pleasure to deal with. Shipping to the US is only 7 days!! shoot him an e-mail, and he will get right back to you. You might have to click on the English translation.Manometers come in various colors. You will need to order the special wrench to remove and replace the unit.Three of us locally have these units and have not had one ounce of issues with them. Also, I believe the price has come down in the fluctuation between the Euro and USD. Enjoy your new toy!

Ron,

My friend put mine together for me while I was out doing something else. If you e-mail Jared, he will get right back to you with the installation procedure. It is important the way the spring and ball are inserted into the sleeve.Not sure if ball goes on the top or the bottom. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. If you have any further issues, get back to me and I will get the info from my friend.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. The spring and ball bearing go into the recess , with the spring going in first. Then you need to slide the one half of the manometer over the other holding the spring In place. with your finger. A little tricky to do , so would suggest doing this inside of a large clear zip lock bag. Because is you lose the spring and ball bearing, you are screwed. Good luck
