    Fwb sport with asi sticker [removal question]

    I have recently acquired a mint fwb sport 127 ,it still has the asi sticker attached to the cylinder also in mint condition. Question is should I remove this or will the blueing be damaged underneath after all this time,or should I just leave it purely as this was how they came anyway???

    Leave it alone. I recon it adds to the condition of the rifle. A liitle bit of "as new-ness".
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    Leave it; these stickers add value when on a mint rifle.
    There are plenty of FWB Sports used to shoot; far less mint ones in this condition. Such mint ones are worth keeping perfect factory fresh IMHO.
    In truth a rifle of this age, never shot, really should be serviced, relubed, before it is. Well better for it, as they often sound a bit rough and gummed up.

    Leave it on but....if you do remove it will not do anything to the blueing at all. Mach 1.5

    Probably the blueing would have faded slightly around the sticker leaving an unsightly mark.
