FWB 300S Manual

[themech]

Please excuse any mistakes as this is my first attempt on a forum.
Iam lucky enough to have become the proud owner of a FWB 300S and I would like a manual so that I may service it. I have only just finished servicing my Anshutz 250 and managed to find a supplier for the seals used in the recoil damper unit.

The best stripping instructions that I have seen for this rifle are in "Air Rifle and Air Pistol Maintenance & Repair" by Q.Cobham (Mini-Maxi Publications). A book well-worth buying that easily repays for itself and the author will answer queries that you may have.

The official manual states "this gun does not require any servicing" or words to that effect! The gun is said to be good for 1/2 million shots before needing possibly a new piston ring, spring, comp tube seal, buffer washer. The only useful info in the manual is instructions on adjusting the sights and trigger.
Try googling yahoo club for FWB300S. If you register you will have access to the database of the FWB300s, inc the manual.
Best test for the state of the gun is to chrono it. Should be doing around 600fps with Hobby pellet (7gr). If below 560fps may need work. Most replaced item is the compression tube seal which you can see after cocking the gun. Later seals are blue. If the seal is white/yellowish it is very old and probably needs replacing.

A great gun and everyone should have one!
