Adding Wt. to Air Rifle Question

Post by Tanktrek »

I have a FWB 300S that I use for club matches. Does anyone know who would make some barrel wt.s for this particular model Air rifle. It needs some damping up front for off hand shooting.

I have a local machinst make my unususal parts for me. Something simple like a barrel weight should not be too pricey. A local gunsmith who appreciates precision shooting might be able to help you as well.

Now, a caution: the FWB 300 the entire mechanism shift back when the rifle is fired. This means a barrel weight may affect the function of the recoil mechanism. Not sure but it is a possible issue. Also, because the whole mechanism moves the mechanism that attaches the barrel weight will need to be very secure. (Translation, a simple small set screw with a nylon 'no scratch' point will not do the trick)

Cheers,
