Im in the process of restoring my UK spec Pro Elite to full power Export / US spec. Does anyone have a lead on original Pro Elite springs? The only thing i can find is the Titan which by your experience seems a little loose on the guide so will likely twang.

Thanks, yes these deserve to be up and running and will likely last another 50 years if cared for!

Been a while since there any FWB 300 rebuild posts so heres one of mine. Started as a left handed 300s universal stock, I got it at a very good price because it had been subject to some catastrophic incident - its seals had turned to hard feta cheese, the compression tube cracked (!), and the...

Thanks, I emailed Air Arms after I asked here and they confirmed they used Loctite 480 on them. so ill try to pick up some of that..

Thanks for that, its just a ballpark size to check against mine - in case the TP was reduced on UK models. Thanks regarding the scope. I have a 6.5-20 EFR "Air Rifle" scope that I may put on, good to hear they hold up ok. Their service / warranty is very good though in the case it doesnt. On...

I would think co2 would be underpowered for such an animal.. for scaring perhaps ok but you may as well get a blank gun, but to kill you’d need a pcp pistol with decent power

Is that your pistol? Can you confirm how the sight is mounted?

No problem, I will keep an eye on the usual auction sites etc incase something pops up, and have a makeshift guard made for safe handling.

Out of interest is there a source for trigger guards for these? The 300S and 300SU are not interchangeable...
