Had to watch this video again, since I have been shooting my 150 with the Tyro stock. I am not a professional shooter but using H&N match pellets I've shot some amazing groups, at 10m. Five pellets into a hole 1/4". These guns are mechanical marvels!
Excellent video. Never seen a FWB 110 - now realise why - only around 180 made! A minor criticism of the test would be the use of shoot'n'c type targets which do not allow precise measurements of the groups, flaking of the paint material in a non consistent manner may give false impression of the actual group size. I do see that those targets make much better viewing on the video. Good shooting though. Interesting conclusion. Would be could to compare the finalised and perfected 300 model to the earlier models.
Both beautiful rifles and good shooting. I don't own one of these fine target rifles but you video has heightened my interested in purchasing one. I own mostly magnum springer. Thanks
Thanks, I have a 1985 Feinwerkbau Sport 124 which was one of the first Magnum springers, it is an awesome air rifle…There is something very satisfying about shooting a 6ftlb match rifle though, I can highly recommend getting one. Cheers
Great video, thank you for sharing! Love the design of the 110. As you say, shooting the 150/300(s) isn't much 'fun', which is why I sold the specimens I had. A springer should recoil, even if it's just a little, and the shooter's skill should contribute to the (small) size of the group as much as the airgun and pellets, IMHO.
@@dkjngl1 they inspire me a lot on my collection, Recently got in to old gallery guns, Another interesting subject is a haenel 49a/310 vs Anschütz 275, Both same rifle patents but built very different. The East Germany vs West Germany.
That’s great, I am also into older gallery guns. I will be doing a video on a Haenel 33 senior, and also an 1890’s Oscar Will gallery gun and an 1870’s August Will gallery gun soon. I love these precursors to the modern 10m match rifles. Cheers
Interesting that,nice looking rifles too.It would be interesting to see longer range groups using a scope.To me a recoil less spring piston action would have real advantages in the hunting field. John Bowkett made one I remember,it had opposing pistons - ingenious. I assume manufacturers havn’t gone down that route because it’s not cost effective plus the weight increase of such a rifle.
Yes, these days you can make two or three PCP’s in the time it takes to make one quality springer so no ones going to bother. The Stirling Armaments dual piston prototype we all got excited about recently never came to fruition, shame really. Cheers.
Hi, nice video, I just wanted to ask you what differences (if any) are between the two recoilless FWB 150 and 300. I've seen quite a few 150s and a lot more 300s on an auction website (egun) and was wondering if it's worth buying one over the other, and why. Cheers mate
Hi, I got both my 150 and 110 from that same German auction site too, it's a great place for vintage German airguns. The 150, 300 and 300S all have the same mechanism but they got progressively heavier and the stocks evolved to a much more target style stock in the later 300S. The early 300's look very similar to the 150, but the 150 has a sleek sporter style stock and the slimmer barrelled version I have is quite light in comparison to the later 300S which is very heavy! For pure target shooting the 300S is probably best but from a vintage collecting point of view I love the 150, especially with the Tyrolean stock. Great to shoot too. Probably best to get them all! Cheers
Both work the same but the earlier 300 would be lighter than the 300s, so that might be a better choice for multiple rapid silhouette shooting if shot standing. From a bench then the heavier 300s might be a bit more stable. Cheers!
He had some amazing air rifles. Often when I was researching some weird and rare air rifle, Frank was the only person who had one, and he was generous enough to share photo’s and info about them online. Good bloke
I just said I would offer to purchase the 150 from you, should you ever tire of it. I put in my email (obfuscated) but I guess that breaks an unwritten rule.
There is a difference between the two rifles when you hold them differently, but you’re right it’s hardly noticeable. It was a surprise to me as I thought there would be an obvious difference. I really love the FWB110, such a great rifle. Thanks
I found a 150 with the Tyro stock from a seller in the Netherlands. I bought it! Can't wait till it arrives! Really enjoyed your viseo.
Nice one, the tyro stocks make all the difference, especially for standers. Probably why they banned them for competition back in the day. Enjoy!

Amazing aren’t they? Nearly 60 years old and shoot like pcp’s. Fantastic airguns.

Two wonderful rifles..
Thanks, they are both a joy to shoot, the same but very different.
fantastic this feinwerkbau!!! I'm looking for a 300 but here in Brazil they are very rare
I’m sure you can find a 300 there, just keep looking. Good luck!

I agree with you 100%, with a springer it feels like team work between you and the gun when you shoot them accurately. It’s very Zen.
Cheers mate
Both beautiful rifles.
Thank you, I agree. If I had to choose it would be the 110 in the 150 Tyrolean stock 😊
Your video’s are sooo good!
Thanks mate

Of course the Diana 54 Airking is available and uses the same recoiless system. It is a full power air rifle.

Interesting 👍

Thanks for the video much appreciated 👍👍

Nice video. Which one would you Take for target and plinking sessions with metallic silhouettes ? The fwb 300 or the 300s?
Both work the same but the earlier 300 would be lighter than the 300s, so that might be a better choice for multiple rapid silhouette shooting if shot standing. From a bench then the heavier 300s might be a bit more stable. Cheers!
Interesting video. What I can't understand is why no-one puts the same pin slide action of the 150 on any springers today? ATB MMMD
Hi, the Diana 54 uses exactly the same system and is a full power (sub 12 ftlbs) rifle. It is still made today
@@dkjngl1 Thank you buddy
Really enjoyed that video. I wonder if the same applies for the Diana 54 vs 48?
Maybe, but they are full power so the difference may be more noticeable. Unfortunately I don’t have either so can’t test. Cheers
Does it’s aperture sight hold zero with such a strong recoil…..?
Looking an answer for aperture sight on a recoil rifle like 350 magnum
Yes it holds the zero fine. Recoil on the 110 is not too strong though. Only 6ftlbs. Cheers
Ifffffff you ever gonna sell the 110 for some crazy reason :) please let me know, (im a collector, just got hold of a part of the FRAKOR collection)
It would have to be a crazy reason! Frank had one in his collection, has it sold already?
@@dkjngl1 Yes its sold indeed. im buying of now from Alex who bought his collection after he passed away sadley.
He had some amazing air rifles. Often when I was researching some weird and rare air rifle, Frank was the only person who had one, and he was generous enough to share photo’s and info about them online. Good bloke
I hope someone can help me, I recently picked up a feinwerkbau 300 and can't find much about it. I'm considering getting rid of it
What do you want to know?
It's nice and beautiful.

У меня МОД150 с откатным стволом.Не могу определить
по номеру год выпуска, если можно , помоги
те. С уважением Сергей.
koji je serijski broj?
So my post was deleted then... great, thanks TH-cam. It didn't violate the guidelines (I checked 1st).
Wasn’t me, must have been a bit dodgy if you felt the need to check the guidelines first though? Never mind
I just said I would offer to purchase the 150 from you, should you ever tire of it. I put in my email (obfuscated) but I guess that breaks an unwritten rule.
I still have a 300 S
They are great rifles 👍
I see too little difference if at all any to matter.
