Feinwerkbau 150 age date please
I have a couple of absolutely mint condition FWB 150 match rifles that I have owned for several years but have no idea when they were manufactured.
The first is a bull barrelled type with the number 40183. This rifle has a black alloy accessory rail fitted for use with a bipod etc (unmarked and never used)
The second is a Tyrolean stock with a standard barrel with the number 7921. This rifle does not have the accessory rail fitted but has a short recess under the front of the stock - thought to be for use with some sort of bolt-on accessory weight ?
If anyone can help with the production dates for these two I would be very pleased to find out just how old they are.
When I bought these two rifles in Germany it was suggested that they had not been used and (surprisingly for me) I have never shot either of them since I have had them - I usually like to exercise all of my collectable rifles but these two have been kept "precious" in a rifle rack in my office.
This will change as I am going to take them to RMTC and shoot them both ( maybe not on the same night) as I think they need some exercise!
I will be taking a couple of beer towels with me to put underneath them when I rest in-between shots as I don't want to mark them in any way - but I really do want to shoot them and enjoy them before I have to sell one of them sometime in the future.
