A Gorax Featherweight FWG5 I made for a customer with +187/-0.39 shards:
Speed: 2.03
Damage: 380-966
Accurary: 17
Wound: 13.8%
SAC: 78
Base DPS: 330.97
Made four others with the same shards, but they had higher DPS/lower speed (1.93-1.94) and higher SAC (84-86) as per the customers request.

Well, yours has zero accuracy and lacks the +15 bonus to the skill that new Featherweight FWG5's have. The damage is nice though, even if it's sliced.
Besides, I'd say getting lucky on a conversion doesn't count when comparing against new weapons

Ahhh, okay, thanks for the clarification. 
I didn't get this gun afterall... I dropped out of bidding when the other guy going for it bid 8 million, and said he was prepared (and rich enough) to go as high as it took.

Yeah, is kinda cool to see a pistol break the 1000 max damage range, nice.
What do you think I can expect with some 167 / -.65 bones?
I'm hoping to hit the damage cap, yet still get the SAC right around 80. Doable?
Suggestions on experimentation?
I'm not a weaponsmith, but I'm obsessed with getting ideal ADK-worthy pistols, so I've read a lot. Even if my WS knows what he's doing, I like to remind him.

Yes... I hit 965 with 172 and used the remaining 4 points I think it was to get to 78 SAC. No greats on final experimenting, only 6 along the way. So I'd say its possible. Using 9 points in damage should cap and 3 in SAC should get to 81/82. Get the smith to experiment all into SAC on the Projectile Feed Mechanism and I would recommend using a pre-cu Projectile Pistol Barrel. Nice damage on them.

Thanks for the info, Shug! Much appreciated.
I'll let you all know how it turns out...

Well, the guy who was going to sell my thebone shardstraded them to someone else for a Firespray. Dammit! 
So back to Gorax hunting and watching the trade forums... *sigh*

Just got a 125 gorax bone, was hoping i might get near the damage cap but looks like I will have to settle for a 900ish max damage and low SAC

Yeah, whats the deal with gorax bones lately? I was hunting Goraxes all last night. About half of them dropped (I think I got 5 or 6 piles in total) and only one was over 100 damage, and just barely. Is there something messed up with the stats (I heard other people on my TS server mentioning this might be the case) or a stealth nerf? Or did I just get incredibly unlucky?
