Hello,
Thanks for taking the time and trouble to post the FAS 6004 links which should prove very interesting to anybody thinking about investing in one of these pistols.
Iv'e used my FAS 604 regularly for the last 20 years and could not recommend a better single stroke pneumatic pistol for competitive target shooting at club level anyway.
Regards
Brian

Hi,
That sounds like very good value, as I remember the FAS 604 was still on sale at the Bisley NSRA shop for around the £600 mark only a year or so ago.
Regards

It's not great value if the BAR price is correct. £60 difference seems a bit much.
I didn't realise that the 604 sold for £600. It remains to be seen if machine built 6004 turns out to be as well put together as hand made 604.
I'll definitely be having a trip down to Blackpool to decide if I need one in my cabinet.

Thanks for pointing out that price, BAR didn't come up in my quick search. If the 6004 is up to the same standard of manufacture and handling as the 604 then that's a very good entry level price, with nothing really to touch it.
It will be interesting to see if the new spares are compatible with the 604.

I find Solware to be on the expensive side compared with BAR or McAvoys.
Though they seem to have a good reputation.

Hello it amazes me that BAR sells it for £389 and others sell the same pistol for £449 how can they justify the price gap, its shocking nearly £60 difference

Supply and demand.
Depends how many other gun shops are in the immediate vicinity.
McAvoys are the other shop in the region that tend to do good prices.
Kind regards,
Phil
