C1972 Fine Vintage *Fully Serviced* FWB 300S 10m Side Lever .177 Target Air Rifle with Numerous Original Match Scope Variations. AI 880. - AI 880 Manufactured by Feinwerkbau Westinger & Altenburger in West Germany. The modell 300 was much like the 150, in that it has a single coiled, steel mainspring and a thinner, more sporterised stock, yet it was labelled a 300, rather than the 150. You don’t see as many straight 300 rifles as you do 150 rifles these days. Perhaps that’s because when the 300S came out it overshadowed the 300 and drove it from the marketplace in short order. The 300S has two coiled steel springs that are wound in opposite directions, designed to cancel the slight amount of torque at firing. The 300S stock is shorter than the stock on the 300/150. It also has a more vertical pistol grip to enhance the offhand hold. This system is called the sledge system, after the name for a dry-land type of sled whose runners make it easy to drag heavy loads. In the 300-series there is a special system in the stock that isolates the shooter from the movement. A set of steel rails set into the stock allows the action to move while the stock remains still. The shooter doesn’t feel any recoil and only the slightest vibration. It is completely different from the Giss anti-recoil system, in which a counterweighted piston has no discernible recoil. The ratcheting anti-beartrap safety that prevents the sliding compression chamber from smashing your thumb during loading does not need a separate button to release the cocking lever after you’ve loaded. The only extra step the 300S does have is a small locking latch on the sidelever that unlocks the lever at the start of the cocking stroke. These rifles were sold without sights for a slightly reduced price, and many buyers mounted short scopes on their 11mm sight dovetails. The front sight looks more conventional and is of the globe design with replaceable inserts. On the 300S, it’s part of a larger aluminium barrel sleeve that makes it proprietary. This example comes with a plethora of different inserts and shrouds (see images). With the rifle comes several original rear sights and scarce bipod. The beautiful Walnut stock with adjustable butt plate has very minor age-related marks, but nothing major. The metalwork is good with nice blueing and again, only minor age-related marks. The rifle cocks, loads & dry fires perfectly as it should with a strong spring action. The price includes UK delivery.
