SSP 10m rifle ?

[elewis411]

I still have a notion for a SSP rifle and finally might have a FWB 600 lined up, actually have several to look at, I had a very quick look tonight at a couple of 600's, one isn't holding air, one is but i don't know how healthy it is, the others i will get a better look at maybe next week.
Who has spares / seals for these ?

Seal kits still available on flee bay.

Today i looked at 6 guns,
2 x Feinwerkbau 300S, one had a crumbled breech seal
2 x Feinwerkbau 600, one wouldn't hold air, the other was fine
Feinwerkbau 601
Anschutz 2001 Super Air

The 4 that worked all made between 5.3 and 5.9 ft/lbs, all sounded and felt fine, club guns so no case queens but all seemed sound.

The 601 looked the cleanest, it has an extra little button on the cocking lever that needs to be pushed before the lever will open properly, whats that about ?
What other differences are there between the 600 and the 601 ?

How does the Anschutz compare to the 600 series Feinwerkbau ?

Thank you, well worth a read.

Yes, a very interesting read, I have a 600 and a 602 but couldn't tell you of the internal differences as I've never had to open them up.

As in the article, the lock button on the sidelever was introduced to stop the cocking arm flying open if your hand slipped off the grip.

As far as I can make out, the 600 series never came with a case, they were just sent out in a cardboard box.




All the best Mick

The internal difference is the block and how that all works together. The 602/603 both use the newer style block and is a much better design imo. The 600/601 block is still nice though, just a lot more dated by todays standards! The seals are also different between the old and new style block.

Other differences include the ratchet system on the lever, which as you say stops it flying open!

The stock also changed between the 601 and the 602, with the latter having a cleaner silhouette, and it pretty much hasn’t changed since then for the wooden versions! The mounting bolt position does change on the 602 but I’m not sure how far through the production run, all 603s seem to have side bolts front and rear of the action, which again hasn’t changed since!

The 603 is the only one with a stabiliser, or compensator, FWB were late to the game with this as Walther already had one inside the probe of the LGM2. The Stabiliser on the 603 is that odd looking black rod attached near the breech. To be honest I don’t notice the lack of a stabiliser on my 602

A minor detail but the later the gun the more modern the FWB branded diopter is that comes with it!
