Unboxed a few airguns that i never got to

[kingfisher61]

Today was a miserable rainy day in New England so I invited my friend Mike over to help me test out a few rifles that I never got around to unboxing. It was a hoot!!!
First was a Feinwerkbau 124D. This 55xxx serial number rifle had just come to me via Airguntunes.com. We took it out of the well packaged box and put it together. Man...it was like brand new!!! It was very smooth cocking. The trigger was nicely set for a 2 stage release. Cycle was a solid thud and it was spot on.
Next was a recent arrival R8 in .177. Upon opening the box the first impression was....that's the prettiest R8 we'd ever seen!!!! I removed the rear site and replaced it with an old Beeman/Williams peep. Got great results immediately. Definitely lived up to the R8 hype we've all heard.
Last up was an old Anschutz LG250. This one just blew our minds. A trigger that sets the standard for others. Dead nuts accurate too. The side lever cocking was like winding an old Swiss clock. Certainly the best treat of all three. Four hours flew by and it was time to quit way too soon.
Here's a few pics for your viewing pleasure.

Score
Really like that R8!
The 124 is sweet too with the metal trigger.

Oh yeah, just some airguns you haven't gotten around to unboxing... I wouldn't be able to do anything else knowing those were around and not unboxed yet. Those are classic guns!

Hey kingfisher, thank you for inviting me by and sharing your awesome collection with me. Thanks to you I get to shoot Airguns I would probably never see anywhere else. My favorite was that beautiful R8! Mike

On the A250, the gap between the receiver and the cocking lever pivot piece seems wide. Examine the cross pin retaining the pivot piece (remove the gun from the stock) and verify it's not ovaled out. In any case, replace the damper seals before using the gun. Fantastic airgun the demands you service the hydraulic damper as required.

...here's the gap I'm talking about, your gap seems wider? The wider gap is the first hint of poor damping from leaking damper seals. Even if much worse the gun is still repairable...

Specie
Thanks for the information. This is my first 250 after owning a few 380s. I was told by the previous owner that he had recently serviced this 250. We shot it today with splendid results. But I will heed your advice and have it checked out. I want to refinish that beautiful stock anyway so while it's there I'll get it looked at.

Man, you must have the patience of a saint. The r8 was always a bucket lister that just never panned out. How do you guys take such great pictures? Maybe it's time for me to ditch the old flip phone, lol.

I like that FWB!
I tried the website: Airguntunes.com and it doesn't exist....Out of business already?

Never got around to unboxing? I like that. I only have one gun I never "unboxed" a CZ452. Why? I plan to give it away someday

If you all are wondering why you don’t see nice vintage stuff on the classifieds it’s because John has them all. Lol, once in a while he might sell one.

I'm not sure why the site doesn't work for you. It's up and running according to my computer.

Very nice rifles, always good to have a few rifles on ice.

Tried it again just now. Still no go.....I looked them up by google search and clicked the link just to make sure I wasn't misspelling.

I was just curious what they offered, not a biggie or anything.

@holo07 Do you still have any of those tasco 4x pistol scopes for sale?
