Difference between fwb 300 junior and full length

[let me shoot it]

Is there a difference in weight and length or anything visual?

Hope this helps (the FWB brochure a few pages down has the junior and S versions with dimensions)

Not actually witnessed by me, but I'm told that on Saturday at the bash, Baldinio and Vale Boy attempted to swap stocks between a 300s and a 300s junior --- they found out that they're not interchangeable.


So right handed Baldinio still has a left handed 300s and left handed Vale Boy still has a right handed 300s junior.

Junior is shorter and alot lighter... the barrel is not nearly so heavy etc.

Its a really nice shooter.

From my experience they are interchangeable, the basic action and inletting is the same, the only major action difference is the Junior does not have the the shroud and muzzle weight of the 'full size' 300S.

Here is a Junior action fitted into a left handed 300S Universal stock:



The Universal I got cheap as it had been stored in a farm outbuilding and the action was a basket case for rust on it but still functioned fine and shot accurately, the stock whilst showing a couple of scuffs was otherwise fine, I sold it on the BBS some years back as a project fitted with a junior beech stock as friend wanted a left handed FWB 300 Junior for his son.
