Interesting FWB 300 refinish & rebuild

[T-Higgs]

So, this rifle has floated a bit in the group I shoot with. I recently acquired it from fellow shooter and GTA member. It痴 left handed so I immediately wanted it but I also find it interesting because of the medallion inset into the stock. It痴 from a shooting club in Germany and it痴 to celebrate their 100 year anniversary. Pretty cool. Anyway, I disassembled, polished all things needing polished, new seal, buffer and spring. I stripped and refinished the beautiful walnut stock and am now enjoying its fantastic engineering.

  Without further ado,

I値l try Kirk. If you click on the pic they improve a bit but let me see what I can do. I知 currently manning a hot bbq grill so it may take a bit...

Very nice job, I wish I could do that kind of wood work my 300s needs refinish.

Lovely.
I like that it has some patina...

Purdy!   How's it shoot???

That's a beautiful rifle. I've been wanting to own one of my own for years. One day...

Outstanding job Mr. T. I think it's safe to say, "it's floating days are over".

So far so good. It痴 shooting fairly hot. I ran a few superdomes across the chronograph last night and they are moving at 610 FPS for just under 7 FPE. Rested and using the diopter sight, it痴 pellet on pellet for sure. I値l use it at the ten meter shoot next week and get a good idea of how accurate it is....and how accurate I知 not...

I would love to hear about the details of the rebuild, if you care to share them.  I just picked up a FWB 300 and it appears to be a bit tired.  Velocity with Crosman 7.9 grain pellets ranges from 360 to 430 fps and I wonder if my sledge system is working properly.  Hope to hear more!

I値l also mention that I was in a friendly ten meter match yesterday. Of the three matches, I shot 50 in all three, one was a clean 50 which got me into the shoot off with 3 other shooters and I won the shoot off. Oldest rifle there and the only one not using a scope. These guns are fantastic.

One day... I値l have one. I have a spot reserved just for it.

Wow, nice job!  I hope to have one of these gems someday too.

That right there put a smile on my face...   
Congrats Higgs, glad you found a lefty and a, wow, what a beautiful job you did on it.
That commemorative medallion is very cool.
