The model 150 was made about 1963-69, the 300 1969-72, and the 300S from 1972 into the 1990's. The guns share many parts, but internally...

Since you like your 150 you should see this one, a FWB 110, very similar externally but a bit less sophisticated without the sled/sledge...

Very nice find. Amazing how smooth and easy. Your hooked. This is my 300s. I chased it for over 6 months. The story is it came out of a...

Made in 1908 .25 Cal. It's still tight and functions perfectly. I resealed it with a new leather piston seal but kept the original...

My tricked out Tyro...right hand...with Gehman and Centra raised iron sights. Fits like a glove and eye dead on when swinging up. I use...
