There was a time when Weihrauch’s HW 80 and HW 35 reigned supreme – but, as Richard Saunders points out, they weren’t the only game in town
Fwb 124
With a 46.5cm barrel and an overall length of more than a metre, the FWB Sport weighs less than 3kg unscoped
During the 1980s, the Teutonic titans from the Weihrauch stable were the guns that everyone wanted. They were big, heavy and powerful. We marvelled at how they would split tin cans and pieces of wood, and knock down rabbits, pigeons and squirrels.
Back then, your choices were simple: if you didn’t have a Weihrauch, you had a BSA – probably a Mercury, or an Airsporter – or a Webley Vulcan. But there was an alternative. It was another German rifle, but about as different to the HWs as a gun could get. The Feinwerkbau Sport was more delicate and refined. Where the Weihrauchs were airgun hammers, the FWB was more of a precision instrument.
The safety catch on the FWB is automatically set when the rifle is cocked
Launched in 1973, the FWB Sport 124/127 stayed in production until 1986, by which time approximately 61,000 rifles had been made. The .177 FWB 124 was designed to put out just over 10ft-lb, while the .22 FWB 127 was detuned slightly from 13ft-lb for the UK market. Today the 124 is more desirable from a collector’s point of view, especially the early models.
Easy to cock and smooth in the firing cycle, the FWB 124/127 was admired for its accuracy and build quality. The trigger came in for some criticism – then again, so did every trigger that wasn’t Weihrauch’s Rekord unit – but it was better than those offered by BSA and Webley. And the stock was a little delicate and prone to cracking across the pistol grip.

The trigger was deemed inferior to Weihrauch’s Reckord unit, but still delivered a crisp let-off
The Mk 1 was distinguished by a plastic trigger, which was uprated to aluminium for the Mk 2 – a deluxe model featured stylish chequering and a black pistol grip cap.
Today the Feinwerkbau Sport 124/127 is remembered fondly as an capable and slightly exclusive alternative to the rest that Germany, not to mention Great Britain, could offer at the time.

- Dismiss NoticeThe Forum Rules have undergone some minor changes and updates. Please take the time to read them; it will only take a couple of minutes of your time. By doing so, you lessen the chance of incurring the wrath of the moderation team or making yourself look foolish to other members.90% of users posting adverts in the Sales forums need to be reminded to read the rules as their posts are wrong. This is unnecessarily time-consuming and will no longer happen - if your advert doesn't follow the Sales Rules it will be deleted and you'll have to start all over again.To close this box once you've read it (and the Rules), click on the X in the top right-hand corner.Thank you.AGF Staff
- Dismiss NoticeA reminder of one of the Forum Rules:'Behaviour
Do not make inappropriate or offensive posts - including threats, harassment, swearing, prejudice, defamation, deliberate insults or name-calling, other negative remarks about this forum, its moderators and administrators or your fellow members. Even if this is just your own personal opinion, RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MEMBERS.'There have been changes made to our censoring software in an attempt to help with this growing problem.Click the X in the top-right-hand corner to dismiss this notice. - Dismiss NoticeDear members,Our membership (like our country) consists of people from all walks of life; different in far more ways than can be listed here and each with a different view based on their experience of life - regardless of their colour, religion or cultural heritage. Every single person in the UK has been born of mixed race – we are a multi-coloured and multi-cultural country.
As many of you are aware there are a handful of individuals amongst this membership that persist in making provocative, inflammatory, racist and otherwise offensive comments. This has been happening across the forum to a certain degree but is most especially prevalent in the Adult section.
The moderation team has tried to stay on top of this, however unfortunately because of the ‘offensive’ nature of much of its content we don’t monitor the Adult section quite as much as perhaps we should. As a result much of this behaviour has gone unnoticed unless it has been reported to us. While the team always intended to take a 'light touch' approach to the Adult section it would seem that some people aren’t quite adult enough to be left unmonitored after all.
This behaviour is, and always has been against Forum Rules as well as the specific stipulations of the Adults forum and it will no longer be tolerated. We feel it's time to draw a line in the sand and as such from this point onward offenders will receive an immediate and permanent ban from the forum.
In order for us to achieve our goal of restoring the forum to the friendly and tolerant place it once was, we ask that ALL members be mindful of the content they post and help us to stop unacceptable behaviour by using the 'Report' tool at the bottom of any offending post - the results of which can be seen only by Admin/Moderators.You should all receive a copy of this message by PM.To close this message box, click on the 'X' in the top-right-hand corner. - Dismiss NoticeHotmail block emails from us entering your inbox.

Hotmail addresses include. - Dismiss NoticePostings on Politics, Religion & Controversial Off-Topic MaterialThe majority of users do not want to read about these subjects and people have left the forum as a result of it – this is after all an 'Airgun' Forum. It’s all very well to say they don’t have to read it if they don't want to, but as most of us use the ‘New Posts’ button there is no easy way to avoid it.
All AGF staff members are in favour of people being able to discuss what they want, but we have to draw the line somewhere if it is upsetting other users. We don’t want to read about these topics either.
IMPORTANT- The discussion of politics and religion is no longer allowed anywhere on the forum (including the Adult section). The only exception is if it's airgun related - they must be put in the Airgun Related Politics section..
We willnot tolerate bullying or personal attacks, racism or any other offensive 'isms'. we will remove these topics from the forum, we will not give you an area where you can abuse each other. We will not hesitate to ban offenders.To clear this text box, click on the 'X' in the top right-hand corner.
