Not the pretty babes saw so far, but my 1979 FWB 124D got the ball rolling. Bought from ARH, the original firm, my friends thought I was crazy at the time for paying nearly $300 for, as they said, a BB gun. Fine, they didn't have a clue. I still have it, and it is still FWB-accurate. Not really magnum as was mentioned back then, but still a great rifle. Some day Motorhead might tune this one up, as it is worthy IMO.

I’m not sure. The guy I bought it off said he thought it was factory custom stock. I’ve never seen another like it.

It’s beautiful. Few pics below of my Model 52 Luxus, which is a “factory custom” stock. There aren’t a lot of these, I’ve only seen one other like it and it’s a .22 cal in Europe. Hector told me he believed less than 50. He also said Diana would occasionally do a Luxus gun so yours could be a different run. Does yours say “52L” on the receiver tube? Usually followed by the trigger if it’s a T05 or T06 gun. What’s the manufacture date? Absolutely gorgeous either way.

Oh wow, so it would be a T01 trigger gun. Awesome. In that case it probably won’t have a trigger designation on the receiver. Does it say Model 52 or Model 52L? It sure looks like a 52 Luxus to me. I’ve never seen one with a stock with that finish or that much striping, but like I said, just not a lot of info available on them on the web. If you want more info on the gun Hector Medina would be the person to ask.

It is a T01 trigger gun. Doesn’t have an L designation on the action. Shoots great but I don’t shoot it much anymore. It’s a scope killer for sure. Have another 52 but it’s as ugly as my other is pretty. It’s tuned by John in PA with a field target stock.

Man, y’all are making me drool. After buying 4 (or was it 5) guns in the last month I’ve been resisting temptation but y’all aren’t helping! Wildcat30 they will definitely eat scopes. I got an Accurized ZR mount from Hector. Helps save the scope as well as the rail with those shallow holes for the pin. Beautiful gun, I can’t believe someone sold it.
