FWB 65 question please ...

[Alex70]

I had the fortune to come across and acquire a FWB 65 in extraordinary condition recently...  original manual, additional front sight post, wrench and all.  Still had the original seals, so I opened it to replace them (and to learn more about the gun too) and was happy to confirm that the internals match the great external look.  Ordered replacements from Waffencenter-Gotha...  a bliss to deal with them by the way

I have a question about the trigger weight adjustment.... the previous owner had the 1,360gr mode selected... how can I reset it to the 500gr mode? instructions only provide details on how to go from 500 to 1360, but not the other way around.  I have found no info over the internet so far either
Do I just insert the provided wrench in the hole between the marks and pull down until de 0,5 becomes visible?  do I have to loosen the trigger weight screw first??

Thank you for your help

Thank you very much for your replies.  This is great info.  However, it explains again how to go from a trigger weight of 0,5gr to 1,36gr, but not the other way around.
It could be as simple as doing the reverse adjustment of course, but I want to make sure that I am not doing anyhting that will hurt the mechanism.

I guess I can contact Feinwerkbau directly and ask them.  I reached out to them when I bought the gun to inquire about the year of manufacture from the serial number on the pistol and they were very helpful and easy to work with

Thanks!

I have a FWB 65.

There is no lock screw or anything that needs to be loosened. Just do the reverse.

Great, I'll try that then.  Thanks!
