Title: Does anyone want to guess what this FWB 300S will bring at auction?
Post by: Kragman1 on December 28, 2020, 10:05:22 PM
Now theres a rifle I'd like to own!
I'm guessing $600, but its a shot in the dark. 
I dont know enough about them to buy one, but someday I will...

Looks like a left hand stock. Might need a breach seal.

Oh My... Original box and paperwork, nice shape and a Lefty to boot.
 What I don't know is if being a Daisy import will help or hurt.
Either way, with the current inflated air gun auction prices, I am going to venture say north of a grand if not 1200.

One of my best friends owns one. Incredible trigger! These are the most accurate 10 Meter Olympic guns made. He paid about $800.00 for his (used) about 10 years ago. This gun should go for about at least a Grand......Maybe more! dave

That's a nice one, and unusual to see the lefty.

I have an early (1974) 300S with Daisy markings. I don't know why that would reduce value, it's rather rare. And IMHO, kinda cool to see those two logos from opposite extremes of airgun culture side-by-side, LOL.

on gunbroker probably 600-800 , on ebay that would fetch 1300-1500 i bet. super rare, with the box which is unheard of

I agree with Rob M.  Here's a righty that was listed multiple times starting at $1200, and never got a bid.  https://www.gunbroker.com/item/879630867 (https://www.gunbroker.com/item/879630867)
And another with no accoutrements listed 3 times before it sold   https://www.gunbroker.com/item/886763648 (https://www.gunbroker.com/item/886763648)
Compared with these sold on eBay

Lefty is rare but doesn’t that reduce the number of bidders?  Luckily I have a aversion to side levers. God intended the lever to be underneath the rifle! Lol

Uh oh - this link shows it still for sale.  Current bid is $316 with 4 days left (no reserve).
Maybe the first buyer backed out...?

The "sold for $551" was (I presume) referring to the one I posted above; not the one currently for sale.  I was just attempting to show the disparity between prices realized on GB vs eBay.  Sorry for the confusion!

Did any of you notice the rust/corrosion at the breech seal and barrel/compression chamber interface. Definitely will need complete rebuild and possible new hard parts including possible barrel due to rust/corrosion.

Not worthy of anywhere near 600 IMO.
