How much is this pretty rifle worth right now? I really like to buy a 10 meter rifle.

Appears there is damage to rear sight. Perhaps the issue. Should be tight at top as at bottom.

I’ll be durned. There’s a starting point. Thanks.

Easy fix, that plate bent right back. Not the problem, basically just a dust shield with a window and hash marks for windage. But, removing it let me see I wasn’t getting full travel for windage or elevation. It just felt like it LOL. Way mo bettah now. The clamp rails had also been buggered a little on left side and the sheared piece was beneath the clamp rail. So left side was sitting a few tenths of a mm higher than right. Fixed that too. Raining, rain tomorrow, not sure when I’ll get to test.

Feinwerkbau makes some fine airguns! Been carrying a 124 for going on 4 decades - it's my favorite walkabout gun!

I looked for a 300 for ages, nada ! Gave up and grabbed a 603 (SSP) when one came available. Then two months later a 300 pops up so I pounced on it. Got a couple of their pistols (100 and a P8x). Call these Feinwerkbau 10 meter airguns my "winter guns" cause I spend the long, cold Canadian winter shooting them in the basement.

Enjoy your 300!

Cheers!

Thank you. My MIL will be here from New Brunswick on Wednesday. She comes down for about 5 months so she doesn’t have to hide in the basement ha ha. I have a 124 and now the 300S. Told my wife today we need to get her a 601 or 603 to complete the set. Then maybe she’ll quit eyeballing mine!

As suspected, someone put the front sight pin in from the wrong side. Finally got it out, cleaned things up and installed correctly. Zeroed in and still have windage and elevation travel in all directions.

Nates friend: Look at my new Red Ryder airgun

Nate: That’s not an airgun. THIS IS AN AIRGUN! Proceeds to stack pellets!

That 300 would put a smile on anyones face!

Question for some of y’all that know this gun well. Guy I sold the LH stock to needs a recoil pad, trigger guard, and grip cap. The trigger guard and recoil pad had been pirated from the RH stock so I put them back on when I swapped stocks. Grip cap for some reason was still on RH stock when I received, I assume because it wouldn’t fit the LH stock? Gun was built in 1974 and I believe the LH stock is much newer. More angular, beech instead of walnut. I know there were different stock variations. Anyone have or know where to source the parts or what the LH stock variation is called? He said he has one gun that would swap parts with exception of grip cap. Holes are about 1” ctc. My cap is roughly 46 mm by 56 mm. Pics of both stocks are in first post.

I have never taken a good look at a LH grip cap up close, but I have only ever seen two types of grip caps for sale.
The old flared version and the new straight one, also only seen one type of grip spacer (FWB 1.700,948.1) so presumably they'd be the same.
