Whats's the difference between the two besides the "U" ?
Thanks

The SU had an adjustable cheekpiece. On earlier models it consisted of replaceable cheekpiece blocks of different heights, but I think on the last SU models it was adjustable by raising or lowering. I think the SU was designed more as a three-position target rifle (Universal); there may be other differences, I am sure someone else will know more.

SU had a different stock (mine did a anyway) more rounded that the flat bottom taget stock of the S model. Also had removeable front sight and actually came with two different height tunnel sights and rear sight raisers to support the adjustable cheek piece, early one has two separate hight cheek piece whereas later were adjustable, Zooma will be able to correct me if any of this is wrong and he would be welcome to do so as probably has far more knowlage than me on FWB300's. Have a look on his website "bobs airguns" and you can see examples of both versions, internally I think they were exactly the same.

I assume left handed versions were available ?

Definitely were on the S model. Never seen a L/H SU but that's not to say they weren't available, the SU can be a little harder to come by and used prices are normally slightly higher.

Lefties were available, although I've never seen one in person. Here's an early SU leftie.

Garvin's excellent VAG (Vintage Airgun Gallery) is always a good starting point for information. Have a look at the FWB section, here, it shows the main three SU variants and there's a selection of brochures too. HTH
