Good day with the FWB Sport

[Hobbyman2007]

I dug my Sport out of the safe this afternoon and fired three 10 shot groups.  One each with 8.44 gr. JSB and AA and then 10 shots with H&N 4.51 FTT's.  My groups were nowhere near Joanies' target (I wish) but I'm encouraged with 1/2 - 5/8" groups and declare the H&N FTT to be today's preferred pellet.

In a previous post there was comment about down-tuning our American Sport to European levels.  FWIW, my chrony indicates that the H&N 4.51 FTT travels at 820 fps and delivers ~13 fpe from my Sport.  Sans a specific kit, wouldn't cutting off a spring coil or two deenergize this fraulein?

On my last detune , an R9 , I didn’t bother cutting the coil at all . I just heated up the spring with a propane torch and flattened the last three coils. This brought the rifle down to just below 13FPE from 16. I’ve got close to two tins through it now with no sign of the rifle slowing down. You can cut a coil or two and it would give the same results.

Mike from Flying Dragons tuned mine to 12 ft/lb. New spring guide and other things. Exactly 830 average with 7.9 grain= 12 ft/lbs.
My favorite breakbarrel. I own several high end breakbarrels. My want list is for a AirArms Elite.
