    Is the top strap on the FWB 103 ...?

    .... made of alloy or plastic?

    I ask because I have been looking at a photo of one that seems to have a small crack in it near the breech lever.

    It's the second time I have seen this.

    I seem to remember it was alloy. Are you sure it is not a scratch? They are very well made.

    Aluminium - definitely. it's a barrel shroud.

    If it's a crack, it's been dropped

    Could be a scratch.

    Difficult to determine from a photo.

    Yes, I suppose it could have been dropped or knocked.

    Thanks for letting me know it isn't plastic.
