My buddy just got one from his dad. Unfortunately it isin desperate need of service, Cocked it loaded it fired it and pellet still in the chamber.
So what can you suggest? Thank you
Not trying to be sarcastic but I suggest you try Google.
I did there are many out there just needed some input of good ones or ones who have worked well for others.
They are called tuners. You may just need to oil the leather seal on that 124. I had one of those years ago, got stolen out of my truck while fishing.
If you can tune a Kimber Montana, a FWB 124 is a piece of cake. Recently acquired and rebuilt a clean FWB 300S Match. My faithful FWB 124 is next. Parts came from ARH.
The 124's are pretty bombproof but if abused, the top of the cylinder/piston can be worn beyond repair and dry firing will break springs and score cylinders. Your rifle's failure to launch a pellet is not a good sign. Use a 3/4" pipe clamp with adequate travel and a piece of wood dowel fit to the aft end to clear the safety. Spill its guts and see what's what to set your next move. Or just cut a check to a reputable tuner to do the same....
Can't help on recommending someone to work on your FWB, but it's a fairly easy rifle to repair yourself. I replaced the spring and seal on mine years ago with no spring compressor. Wear eye protection and use one of the multitude of online guides and you're good to go.

http://www.springgunning.com/Website says he's not taking in new work right now. I suggest you give him a call. His work is worth the wait.

The 124 FWB has a synthetic piston seal. The early seals decayed and had short lives. I hear Paul Watts does fine work so I would try,.. Ah heck, beg him to tune yours, lol.
The 124 is a fine piece of machinery and worth whatever you have to pay for a good tune job. I think I've had 3 or 4 of them. The Deluxe version is really nice. The modern replacement piston seals last much longer.
