A friend of mine has had the seals go on his fwb300, does anyone know if they are easy to work on and if instructions for seal replacement are available?
Failing that is there anyone in the Chelmsford area who repairs these?
It seems a service kit us available from Germany so hopefully parts won't be a problem.
Thanks

Not difficult at all. Plenty of stripdown guides on the web. 'PILKGUNS' is a good source of info.

Graham,
Surprisingly, the FW300 is very straightforward to strip !
Some excellent video guides are here : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWL...AgPp2XA/videos

Have fun

Agreed with all of the above. The hardest part is if the one or both screws for the trigger group are seized up. Make sure you use a well fitting screwdriver, especially if the gun still has it's original seals. That means those screws haven't been turned for over 30 years.

Hi Graham,
Good luck with your DIY strip and seal replacement on the FWB300.
When the piston seal on mine failed a couple of years ago I had to take it to Mays of Buckhurst Hill to carry out the work since the 2 hardened pins in the action had corroded and seized solid and had to be ground out. It cost me a total of £135 (mostly labour) but also included a new breach seal so good luck!
