FWB 601

Brett, what are those peep sights on the right?

Rear diopter sight from the FWB 603 is what I was told when I purchased the rifle.  I never studied it closely to really know.  I’ll go look now…

This is it up close.  No other visible markings.  HTH

I figured it was an original FWB piece ... but didn't want to chime in because of uncertainly.

Looks like a Crosman Challenger 2 sight set 👍

Nope Richard... it is original FWB... much higher quality than Crosman.

I started with a 300S.
I sold it.
DUCKFISH has a 600 that I liked.
I bought a like new 601 from the guy in SoCal.
It had to be rebuilt by PILKINS.
The series as I understand goes like this.
600 just replaced the 300 but the cocking was reversed and the handle would sometimes pop out when firing.
The 601 corrected that with a latch to depress before cocking.
The 602 had a dry fire mechanism.
The 603 was the final design with highly adjustable stock and all of the above features and they were carried over to the 700 series PCPs.
