Specky  : (Today, 07:15 PM) have you not seen his hands! a springer would give him a blister after a dozen shots :thumbsup:
alhucoll  : (Today, 06:13 PM) are yours the "right hands"?
Cones  : (Today, 06:11 PM) `65 recoiless match pistol. I believe it to be a late `60s to early `70s example. Power is a very consistent 433-435 fps
@ 3.3 ftlbs with 7.9 gn pellets.
Condition wise, lets just say its seen a few frosty mornings. The barrel and foresight are finished in smooth Hammerite and theres a bit of wear showing on the action. The rear sight has had a bit of work at some time in its life.A bit of TLC would create a very desirable match pistol.
This can still hold its own in the right hands (not mine).
Cones  : (Today, 06:11 PM) No, apparently it shoots O.K.
alhucoll  : (Today, 06:06 PM) doesn't look that bad

alhucoll  : (Today, 06:03 PM) It'd be a laugh
Cones  : (Today, 06:02 PM) The photos are not that detailed. But I expect so.
alhucoll  : (Today, 06:02 PM) brush lines and hairs?
Cones  : (Today, 06:01 PM) smooth, but rough if you know what I mean?
Cones  : (Today, 06:01 PM) I think the rear sight needs some TLC as well.
alhucoll  : (Today, 06:01 PM) smooth or rough?
alhucoll  : (Today, 06:00 PM) Nice!
Cones  : (Today, 06:00 PM) It is painted with hammerite at the moment! :sick:
alhucoll  : (Today, 06:00 PM) ah, the nights are drawing in..................................
Cones  : (Today, 05:59 PM) Yes, same as one I already have. But very rough, so I can spend some time on it.
alhucoll  : (Today, 05:58 PM) a strip and re-build in hand then?
Cones  : (Today, 05:58 PM) Yes, reliable is important for target shooting.
alhucoll  : (Today, 05:58 PM) ANOTHER!
Cones  : (Today, 05:58 PM) An old and very tatty Feinwerkbau 65 springer.
alhucoll  : (Today, 05:58 PM) looking forward to a reliable rifle! not one with a full 1ft'lb spread!
Cones  : (Today, 05:57 PM) I bought another pistol. :innocent:
Cones  : (Today, 05:57 PM) Great, good to know that it is someone you know.
alhucoll  : (Today, 05:54 PM) yep, one of the Weihrauch club blokes - dealt with him before
Cones  : (Today, 05:51 PM) Did you find someone to do it Al?

Lincs Hunter FT Club....



Out of a desire to promote and support the world of Air Gun Shooting Sports, Guns ‘n’ Stuff of Lincoln were finding it increasingly difficult to recommend places for local Air Gun enthusiasts to shoot.


A number of regular customers already had places to shoot. These were either ‘shoots’ in terms of permission to shoot vermin on private land or members of some distant Target Shooting Club. Increasingly “If only there was somewhere locally to shoot” was becoming an almost daily comment.

From this Lincs HFT Club was born and has since evolved into a popular independent shooting club run by a dedicated committee of local enthusiasts.
Our mission


To promote Air Gun Shooting Sports in the local area and to provide a safe and enjoyable environment to participate in Air Gun Shooting.


Our objective was to form a Club, which offered facilities that would be interesting, safe and enjoyable to enthusiasts of all age groups, of any gender, regardless of experience and be attractive to target shooters and hunters alike. There is only one discipline that caters for this and that’s………. Hunter Field Target.


UKAHFT Series


The UK Series consists of shoots at various club grounds around the country forming a UK league. Lincs HFT Club will participate in this Series and as such host one of the events. Anyone can attend and compete in the Series. A team of shooters made up of Club members will represent the Club in the Series. There are usually 10 events to attend annually. The host Club will ensures that camping/catering facilities are available close by for the weekend of the shoot. More information is available on the BBS so check it out. Additional information about the UK Series is available at the Club and updates will be posted on this site and on the Club's Notice Board.
