tomburras 2,729 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 That's great mark I bet your exited! Are the piston seals leather in them? Nice to hear you kept it original. Are you tempted to fettle it? Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,550 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi Tom, Just wanting to re-live my youth a little and then all the years after. I shot the FWB Sport 127 from 15 yrs old to now 54 with good success but with mill dot scopes mostly. I`m going to shoot her under a classic Tasco scope 4x40 ( no milldots), a real test of marksmanship and field craft I think atb 5 Quote Link to post
