Feinwerkbau 603.

[zooma]

The absorber was developed for the P70 pcp rifles & was fitted to a few 602's & the 603. The idea was to remove the "rocket" effect from the precharged guns.

The 700's absorber is internal as is the 800's, but they are similar.

All variants recock if you like when you load.

On the 602/3 & P70 it is important to make sure the loading flap is as far back as possible otherwise the absorber may not reset properly, don't assume by cocking the rifle the loading flap is all the way back, they have a tenancy to stick at times especially if the absorber is not set correctly.

Thanks again - I am all knowledged-up now about the "tubular thingy" on the side of my 603 and will treat it with the respect this technology deserves.

I am actually quite impressed - and genuinely appreciate the technical answers and tips.

There you go Bob, you've now got your info from the man who knows every nut and bolt of these rifles - and from hands-on experience of working on them too. I always hesitate before answering threads in this section because I know that whatever grains of information I've picked up about match rifles over the year pale in comparison to Mr Donky's practical know-how (or worse, are found to be completely wrong!).

Hi,

does somebody have a need for some details of FWB 603? https://www.feinwerkbau.de/ceasy/mod...n.php?id=550-0

Thanks Harry but this thread was started in August 2012 (!) and unfortunately I made the big mistake of selling this wonderful rifle some time back and greatly miss it.

I do have a pair of really nice 601 rifles that I enjoy shooting from time to time but I have less spare time than I used to have so I may well be selling these soon as well so somebody else can enjoy them.

Since I wrote this reply I have sold one of my 601 rifles but I do still have another excellent example for sale:-

Serial number 101890. The blue finish on this rifle is excellent with no blemishes that I can see and the laminated wooden stock has no marks or scratches that I can see either so the rifle is in very good (well above average) condition overall. The rifle shoots very well and it accurate at 10 meters.

The rifle comes with the original FWB sights with good clear read-out dials and currently has a set of ALCRAFT riser blocks fitted that I had made to give the "heads-up" shooting position that I like to use. These have had very little use ( like the rifle) and are also in "as new" condition and are easy to remove if not required. Price £495.

I can also sell the rifle without these raiser blocks for £450 and I can arrange for it to be delivered by a very good "next day" carrier ( at the buyers risk) for £25.00.

I have taken some photographs of this rifle so if anyone is interested in adding it to their collection (or just wanting to own a superb SSP match rifle) please contact me by email or PM and I can send the pictures (by email) so its superb condition can be seen and checked-out.

Anyone that is seriously interested in buying it is invited to come and inspect it and shoot it at 10 meters at the Rossendale Club any Tuesday or Thursday evening (let me know you are coming before travelling!!) and test it before parting with any cash.

Indeed Wonky is the man for technical aspects of match rifles, and the only man I would use for repairs.

Does the device make any difference? I don't know on a 603, but it certainly does on a 700, although as Wonky says you have to be very good to notice the difference, and it takes care and feel to set them up precisely, and when you check them its surprising the number of 700's that are not set up correctly.

Have Fun
