Feinwerkbau C1980 Feinwerkbau sport 127 MkII .22 Air Rifle with a 4X32 ‘Tokyo Scope’ and Leather Sling. 22265. .22

Feinwerkbau was founded after the Second World War by senior engineers Karl Westinger and Ernst Altenburger. Until 1960, the production and delivery of precision parts for well-known companies was the main source of income for the young company. In addition, an electromechanical calculating machine was developed, which was considered state-of-the-art at the time and was manufactured in large quantities by the Olympia factory in Wilhelmshaven. Until 1975, all Olympia calculators were developed in Oberndorf until they were ready for series production. After the re-establishment of the German Shooting Association, the two founders of the company, both experienced gunmakers, developed the first competition air rifle with side cocking, a fixed sight line and a patented recoil system for a vibration-free shot. This air rifle was sold for the first time in 1961 and within a very short time almost all existing records were broken. The stock is very nice beech on this model and nicely proportioned to the size of the rifle with a good cheek-piece, Monte Carlo comb section chequered pistol grip but not for-end, and sling swivel loops fitted to the rear butt section and on the barrel block. This rifle is in good original condition, the blueing on the action has slightly faded on the cylinder and barrel but generally it is in good order *the trigger has been weighted*. The beech stock is in excellent condition with no splits or cracks there are a few minor marks to the finish but nothing serious it is fitted with the factory sling loop. It comes with its original factory front tunnel sight and rear open sight. The serial number is ‘29432’ which dates it to 1979-1980. The rifles loading & firing action work crisply and smoothly. The price for this very original air rifle with scope includes UK delivery. NB As a post 1939 Air Weapon the restrictions of the Crime Reduction Act apply to the sale & delivery of this item. 22265.
