I just ordered a Feinwerkbau History No. 1, .36 caliber pistol. I've been wanting an under hammer from quite some time and stumbled upon this offering from an airgun dealer in Maryland. Quite a bit more expensive than the Pedersoli, but looks like a much better gun.
I was very fortunate to find a dealer in the U.S. selling them.
The manual says it uses a .362 ball with a .012 patch = .386 total. Of course these size balls and patches don't seem to be available from any of the known sources.
I could use a .375 ball with a .005 patch = .385 total or a .358 ball with a .015 patch = .388 total.
Although this pistol is listed as .36 caliber the bore should measure .373" land to land and .383" groove to groove.
Any thoughts on which might be a better way to go?
