FWB 300s Universal

[fsa46]

I've been looking for a FWB 300s but never thought I'd find a sweetheart like this one. It's a Gen I built in 1977.

I bought if on another forum yesterday and it had only been listed for an hour . A friend gave me a heads-up that it was on there and I jumped right on it. It'll be a little while before I receive it because I'll get the check out today.

I hope it shoots as good as it looks, but if it doesn't it'll be headed to Joes' house for a rebuild.

Dang, it looks brand spanking new! If there's something wrong with it, Joe will fix it. But I guarantee you, you're not going to regret buying this beauty. And if you ever do, send me a message!

Very Very nice pick up on the 300s! I'm almost glad I didn't see it first. since I don't have that version I would have had to buy it.

I'll shoot it over my Chrony to see how it shoots. I would think at 40 years old it may have had at least one rebuild. The gentleman I bought it from never did a rebuild, but the previous owner may have.

That is a gorgeous gun. A work of art. I'm envious.

I have the mini I got from Joe. Now having played with it a bit I've come to respect and marvel at the technology. Given the reverse twist spring and the sledge recoil dampening , shooting one of these is like shooting a pcp. Some enterprising company should start making similar again. I would love to have such a springer with just 100 fps more for varmint shooting. The one I have is great for target but I would hesitate to try and take a squirrel with it. But it has got me into target. It's really fun.

Chances are your 300 will be just fine. Have fun.

Can't wait to hear how it shoots Frank !! I'm excited for you

Congrats to a beutiful gun! Got the same model, but not as nice as yours, but it's a remarkable gun within it's limits
