Title: FWB 65
Post by: Bryan Heimann on July 16, 2013, 12:05:07 AM
I just picked up a FWB 65 from someone on craigslist.  I was actually browsing the sporting goods for a good deal on a used fiberglass takedown recurve, for bow fishing.  Well, I found this instead.  Traded my hardwood trail for her.

Had one in the 80s. Traded it back to Bob Beeman for a HW55T. T for Tyrolean. Sold the 55T for $1000.00.
The FWB is recoiless but you can turn a screw and it recoils. Very nice

Those are nice pistols. I still have mine which I bought brand new back in 1986. It's still in mint condition, with box and papers including the original factory test target. It's a life-long keeper ;)
Enjoy it, Bryan!
Mine isn't pellet picky, it shoots most quality pellets and never misses anything I point at including head shots on small pests.

Bryan,
You do not lube these pistols the way you do recoiling pistols. FWB had a special lube for the recoiless guns.

Thanks for the heads up.  I might actually send this one out to a pro.  Any recommendations?

David Slade from Airgunwerks.
He can tune that pistol in his sleep.

I have a Mark II (Beeman) I bought second hand about 15 years ago.  Sweet shooting pistol.  Shoots better than I do!  Enjoy, I know,you'll love it.
