FWB FWB 124 Deluxe
- Thread starter JimmyV
- Start date
There are some on popular auction sites
Good luck finding a 127 you can afford. We didn’t get very many. You can swim the English Channel and find one. UK got all the 127’s and they scrounge for 124’s

Watch the classifieds here, and on Gateway to Airguns along with Ebay. Sometimes Gunbroker or GunsAmerica will show some. Get a good description. It might need new seals in which case I would recommend David Slate at airgunwerks.com. He has done at least 3 FWB guns for me , excellent work.
I bought my first back in the first quarter of 1975 and the second early this year via an ebay purchase. The first has been resealed twice, the second I was told had been reworthe ked within the last two years and it seems to be good. The are probably the easiest cocking of the higher powered barrel cockers out there in my opinion, and accuracy is unbeatable. I have mine equipped with Williams receiver sights with Gehmann adjustable diopters. These guns just seem to handle better with iron sights in my opinon, and I can say that after having a scope on my first for over 30 years before going back to the receiver sight.

^^This appears to be a true statement. Out of 151 Beeman stamped FWB 12X guns in my records, ten of them are model 127's. That's works out to be 6.6%. So a realistic figure would be that only 10% of US imported FWB 12X series were .22 caliber.
