I bought this 124 a couple of months back from a fellow who had it listed on GB for over a month but couldn't sell it. It's a 50xxx serial number which makes it a 1983 serial number....according to "the list". Lol I bought it suspecting it might be an elusive Factory Walnut stock.
When I first saw it in person, it looked like a nice beech stock. Plus, it didn't push out a pellet. I made an offer and he accepted. When I got it home, I removed the butt pad to validate the wood species, and low and behold. ...Walnut.
The rifle was showing its age with numerous scratches and dents. Plus the "pressed" ...or at least it looked pressed....checkering left a lot to be desired. So, off it went to Scott Blair at Airguntunes.com for a complete tune and refinish.
What a transformation! !! I'm so glad that I had Scott put his touch to this rifle. The difference is day and night. The checking is now sharp and adds to the beautiful look of the rifle. The Walnut really stands out....especially the mineral lines.
Whenever I have one of the restorations done, I am so blown away by the quality and craftsmanship of the work. Admiration is not a good enough word to describe how much I respect what Scott and people like him in our midst do.
NICE! I may do something similar to mine as well. I really like how easy it is to cock and the amount of power it produces for what little effort required to cock this these!
HA
Jeezs, now you have all the old FWB's, there are none left for the rest of us.

Be very careful about refinishing a Beech stock. They usually come out blotchy. I highly recommend against it unless you know or know someone who knows what they are doing.
Ask me how I know !!
