Its going to be a loooong day at work. Maybe you should go home early since you are coming down ill and suffering from "airgunitis"?

Best of luck with the day going quickly! Looking forward to hearing what you think of the FWB 124.

Finally !!, I pm'd you the other day because I was wondering what happened to it. Your signature said it was lost in the USPS and I didn't think you could ship guns through them. Anyway, I'm really glad it worked out for you. I know you'll enjoy it.

well guys heres pics, I haven't cleaned her up yet(which she dearly needs) she in 85% IMO shooting well full of lubes. and I can without a doubt say this is a Robert Law arh imported gun with the F12 cx package..... it has the sight filler screws and plug, the Williams barrel band sling clamp, the original was removed, indentations from the trigger shoe that is missing

the tasco 2-6x20 ao which is awesome I might add!!!! over all im very happy with what it costed me. the trigger is horrid for the time being lol!!

Beautiful Josh, I'm glad it worked out. My 124 loves the Crosman Premeir Hunters & Crosman Premier Hollow Points. It also handles the Crosman Ultra-magnum 10.5 gr. RWS Superdomes worked great too, but the Crosman's are a lot cheaper.

wilsonj1018 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 03, 2014, 05:57:41 PM »

as of right now its between cpls, cp hunting, poly mags, jsb 8.4 in 4.52, aa 8.4 4.51, jsb 10.3, beeman fts copper, and last but not least good ole superdomes... all of them are making ragged holes at 22yds off the bench. still trying to find the way she likes held though.....

I assume you've tried the artillery hold, that's what mine likes.

VillageSniper · « **Reply #14 on:** April 03, 2014, 06:12:21 PM »

That's a nice looking rifle. I wish I could find one of those barrel bands so I could get a sling for my standard stock. If your trigger is giving you problems, you can play with the adjustment screw a little. I have two 124s, each tuned by different pros, and the triggers even then are not perfect, like my 300s jr, but good enough for my hunting and plinking. With my older deluxe model with the plastic trigger, I was able to apply a drop of clear finger nail polish to the top of the trigger adjustment screw, as it is recessed. It worked to keep it in place. With the later standard 124, Mark II, with aluminum trigger, the adjustment screw is not recessed and the tuner applied a little loc tite internally to keep it snug. Both of my 124s and my fwb 300s jr shoot the JSB RS faster and more accurately than anything else. Try out some 8.64 grain H&N FTT 4.52 as well.

What kind of rings did it come with? They look real nice.

you would have assumed correctly, although it seems to really like a tight hold with the forward hand right under the very end of the stock....
quite odd and some what difficult with my short arms lol.

vs, the trigger adjusted up very nicely I have to say, ive narrowed it down to jsb/aa 8.4 cannot find a difference accuracy wise, and polymags.
they are weaver rings with some gnarly looking teeth on the clamping side hence they aint moving lol.

Josh, just for your information, according to a post by Red Feather a few years back, it looks like your rifle (Ser # 26719) was manufactured somewhere between Dec 1st, 1979 & Sep1st, 1980. The serial numbers for those dates range from 26000 and 34476. Thought you might like to know.

wilsonj1018 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2014, 08:06:08 PM »

yep, I was reading that a few days ago. I think its awesome to be still functioning well, and shooting so well at 35 years old lol.
