FWB Feinwerkbau 150 - help needed

[DonR]

As to 150's with left-hand stocks: Back when ARH went out of business, I bought a lefty 'normal' 150 stock from their bargain clearout of spare parts. It ended up being modified to fit a 300S which later got sold (I could not tolerate the right-hand lever). That stock may still be tucked away in an attic corner.

Hey Don, Here's a snippet from a 1982 ARH "Super Sale" (closeout) brochure. Sure were some great deals on FWB stocks.

Thanks for digging that up Steve - back then I couldn't justify the extra $25 for a Tyro version!

That's downright painful, right there....

I have tried ads on here looking for a 150 stock and fixing screws for a looonnnggg time to no avail. I find it hard to believe that no one has one to part with.

I was in the same boat. I bought a 150 with a cracked stock that a previous owner tried to repair. It had been epoxied, pinned, and screwed from all directions. I thought it would be doable from the photos provided. Turned out to be worse than expected, and also had a chunk missing. Ended up finding a 300 stock for it, off of Scott Pilkington I think.

Some just don't get it. At least you got the accouterments. The 300 stock needed to be modified to fit the longer cocking lever correct?

TnCnDn ,
Yes - the 300 stock has to be modified to accommodate the longer cocking lever.
