    FWB 300 vs 603 weight difference

    Does anybody know the weight difference between the two without stocks?

    Or what the FWB 603 weighs in at without the stock?

    Cheers!
    Wanted part new/used: Model 65, 80, 90 part 1600.178.1 Führungsachse, hinten ø 4,615 Guide axle, rear, ø 4,615

    For the parts you need, you might have better luck with egun.de.

    http://www.egun.de/market/index.php

    Or a specialist German retailer.

    eg.http://www.waffencenter-gotha.de/sho...5_46_1311.html

    I can't help you on your question, but I did once own a FWB 603, and I still have a FWB 300s.

    I could be wrong but my memory tells me that the 603 was heavier. But that could have been partly due to the laminated stock.

    Post this on the Classic Airguns and Target sections of this forum and somebody should be able to give you a definitive answer.

    Hi, thanks for all the suggestions for parts, but the wanted part is my signature. I have tried all the "usual suspects" The part is not being produced
    and is very hard to get hold of.

    My question for this post is about the weight of the FWB 603 without the stock and if the lack of spring and sliding mechanism makes the gun much lighter than a FWB 300s.

    I am into the idea of making a lightweight air gun with 300s accuracy. Making a light weight stock.

    Cheers for the replies!

    That was a nice source indeed. Some rare parts there. Pricey thought! 333, € for a used 300s stock?

    CO2air.de suggests 4.9kg for the standard FWB603 and (I think) 4.1kg for the Junior version. I can't find the weight of the 300 on their page, but no doubt it's there somewhere. I think it's about the same.

    As for a lightweight airgun with the same accuracy as the 300S, try a 300S Junior. Mine: rough and restored.

    I take your point.

    It is so difficult to get the correct weight for the gun in its stock with these discontinued models.

    To get the weight for the action alone is probably impossible without owning the guns in the first place and weighing them.

    I would guess that the action of the 603 might be lighter, but it's just a guess.

    The stock on the 603 seems longer and is laminated so it is probably quite heavy.
