    Weight of FWB 80

    I've trawled the web for some time and can't find out how heavy the FWB 80 is. My guess would be about 2.5 pounds. Or is it nearer to three?

    Difficult to estimate because the weight is mostly at the rear of the gun.

    I actually have one, but no scales, and so I would be grateful if somebody could tell me.

    And if they also knew what the weight was with both weights and plastic insert attached, I would be doubly grateful.

    Kilos or pounds, doesn't matter.

    I thank you.

    Weigh yourself on an accurate bathroom scales, with and without the pistol. Then subtract the one measurement from the other.

    1.18 kg, which is 2 pounds 9 oz.

    The weights are 15, 60, and 85 grams.

    Thought of that, but I haven't got a pair of scales.

    Smuggled your pistol into a good quality cook-shop to do the weighing while nobody was looking, did ya?

    Get some

    You can get a set of digital scales for about a fiver on eb*y. Then you can weigh everything in sight.
    Very handy for posting. Wouldn't be without mine.

    The difference between posting something that weighs under 2 kilo and above two kilo special delivery would buy you two sets of cheap scales.

    Thanks for the tip, Nick. I don't want to sell.

    I like my FWB 80s and don't intend to sell them. I was just wondering if I could handle an Izh 46m. It's a couple of ounces heavier, but a lot of that weight is at the front.

    Arthur,

    I really like my IZH MP46M, and never think when shooting it, 'my that is front heavy'.

    It just feels fine and comfortable in my hands.

    If you get a chance to hold one, see what you think.

    Have fun

    Best regards

    Russ
