Many thanks at this point to Martin Grasberger for this COMPREHENSIVE Report HERE on weidwerk.at
Moritz Rainer, COO at FBT: "Whether old or new rifles, we are bringing the hunting rifle into the 21st century. And we are convinced that we can make all gun models almost "better than new" with new ideas and state-of-the-art technology.
Who doesn't have an old rifle in their gun cabinet that they no longer use? Or guns that you have inherited and that are no longer in such good condition? True to this motto, this ageing rifle was Hunting rifle Steyr Mannlicher overhauled and restored to absolutely NEW condition.
