FWB FWB 300 facelift posts ..Pics

They kinda run from about 400$ for a rough Mini , the Minis have Beech stocks so are usually a little more dinged up but lighter weight . Up to around 650$ for a really nice 300s with all accessories and no rust . Its like most guns , really good wood can increase price . Personally I like the Minis , Jim E. says they are usually laser accurate and are shorter than the full size rifles . They are kinda intimidating to tear down the first time . But east to rebuild . I appreciate the compliment , but AZ is the REAL authority on the FWBs . He's the one that has been helping me get mine tip-top .

Brad Toyers Airgun Classifeds usually has a FWB 300, 300s or a mini for sale every week....last week..I bought Jim E's gun he wanted to part out for $360 shipped..(I knew he didn't really wanna part it out)...he kept the rear sight...it was cheap cause there was nothing special about it and it is shooting slow at 540...the blueing is 90% and the stock isn't beat up. Contact him or Carel in the Netherlands. Carel places ads there also...he has good deals too...between the two they should come up with a nice gun at the right price. Tell either guy what you want and they will find it or try damn hard to get it.
and...there are numerous videos and articles on working on/ rebuilding these plus most guys here and elsewhere will help you with questions or problems pertaining to a 300.
Get one you won't regret it...some of the best shooting enjoyment to be had.

With the double spring set up about 530, with the single spring around 560 . I prefer the double spring set up . It'll shoot great with either spring but the double spring is slightly more accurate .
With 7.33 pellets its shooting about 630 . My gun doesn't shoot well with the other weight pellets . But a gun I'm in the middle of restoring shoots the 8.4 best and hits Hard .

Yeah Jim the break was made by DonnyDu out of Florida . It has one baffle but it mainly hides where the sight was . Donny can make them to pretty much any dimension all the barrels on the minis are all same diameter 14 mm.
I just bought two more rifles and I'm gonna ask Donny to make me some more of them .
Neil Claque who has an ad at the bottom of the page can make them just as easily . Neils work is Great !!!!!

Nay Kit :). I posted a WTB for project FWBs and got several hits . They are all in various condition . Two were literally a box of pieces which was actually fine by me cause I could just start degreasing each one soon as I received it .
All but one needed a stock refinish ..AJshoots bought one with a beautiful job already done on the stock. I got two coming with some really nice wood . By the time I reseal them , redo stocks, bluing , and springs I'm not making anything but the process is a lot of fun .
Its kinda cool to me seeing one back to shooting like they are supposed to .
