I guess I should mention this is probably my 10+ FWB 124 I have owned over the years. I am not much of a spring piston guy but I have been thru dozens and dozens of springers from Webleys, HWs, Beeman branded HWs,, Dianas, and Air Arms I purchased this last 124D out of nostalgia. It shoots so nice at the 9 fpe it almost seems like this is what the factory should have shot for ( pun intended ). Unless I suspect any damage I am going to leave it the way it is and actually enjoy shooting it but if I need some extra power I will pull out my .25 Air Wolf.
