It’s because you’re in the wrong section Mark. Should be posted in the ‘Shooting with old scrap airguns’ section

Excellent stuff.

I've got 3 fwb sports with Lyn lewington right now having v-mach kits fitted, tp,s opened up a bit and generally fettled.

They have already been completely refurbished blueing and the wood.

Really can't wait to get out hunting with them this summer.

Love old school springers.

Are you a scrap dealer like Mark

[mark williams 7,557]

See what happens when you get to know me Jamie  

                 They are all jealous `cos they can`t draw and nothing to put in the freezer  

                  I`ve spoke to Tom Forest and he is now retired, he has however recommended your guy Lyn.

                  So we`ll see where it leads

Great job. Wait till I put my scrap collection picture up in the other classic section

[mole trapper 1,693]

Hi Everyone.

Mark I hope you don't mind, but I've picked up the sports today, finally completely refurbished and vmach kits fitted.

Obviously top one not refurbed, but kit fitted.

Saw yours had arrived safely.

Also picked up the two expensive 80,s I won in the big auction in Oxford, very pleased with them indeed.

What do you think of the V Mach kit in the FWB`s Jamie ?

                  What`s the chronograph reading by the way ?

 

                              atb  Mark.

They are a bit hot mark, so will have to watch them, if they go any higher I will have to do something to keep them legal.

They feel a bit different to the vmached one I've used at the airgun bash. Slightly faster than I was looking for, but absolutely no twang or felt recoil.

Of course the one I used at the bash was well run in, so that may change over time.

Interestingly they feel similar to the hideously expensive venomised 80,s I bought in the auction last week.

Hows that mk1 trigger Jamie ?

               As far as i know, Vortek still do not do anything for FWB Sports but the lads i know with the V Mach internals installed say the gun is transformed ?

               

[mole trapper 1,693]

Well the trigger will never be brilliant, but they are far better than new Diana's is all I'll say.

To be totally honest though because of my knocked up hands and sausage fingers I'm pretty rubbish at assessing triggers.
