This was only used by our local ROTC Rifle Team for matches and practice. It is in excellent if not near mint condition. I comes with a very heavy Stainless Steel Case that is suitable for storage or shipping. No special reporting or licenses are required. These rifles sell new for over $1600. I have not checked on shipping costs but this is not a light rifle and case. It weighs over 35 pounds because of the case. If you would rather save on shipping and just ship the rifle it would weigh about 10 pounds. We can work that out when you win the bid. I want you to be happy with your bid so: Research this item yourself on the web, or call a professional to make sure that it meets your needs. I am not responsible for your buying something you don’t really want or which is not compatible with your equipment, skill level, style, size or need. Please ask questions before you bid. 1. I do not end auctions early. 2. Payment is due at the close of the Auction or Buy It Now Purchase.3. NON PAYING BIDDER: If your payment has not been received within 7 days from the close of the auction, we may open an unpaid item dispute so if there is a delay in payment please contact me with information..4. Shipping is normally 24 hour after your payment is received. I try to ship the least expensive method possible. 5. I will attempt to correct any and all problems with your order but I can not help you if I do not know about it. Please contact me before leaving negative or unfavorable feedback. 6. The Shipping address must be a Paypal Confirmed address and must eligible for the Seller Protection Policy. Buyers who supply a different address hereby waive their right to file a claim with Paypal due to non-delivery.7. It is not my practice to remove an item to sell it locally or outside of eBay. If an item is removed it is because it has been broken or I have noticed that there is something wrong with it or the listing. I will NEVER remove an item or fail to complete a sale because it did not sell for as much as I thought it should.8. Feedback is very important in the eBay community. If you feel that anything less than 100 percent positive feedback is warranted please let me know why. I want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase and if you have read my feedback you know that I have always been fair and honest with both buyers and sellers alike.NOTE TO FOREIGN BIDDERS: Shipping to other countries will be higher than for the U.S. Please do not email me asking how much to send to a particular address or country. In most cases I will use calculated shipping or give you set cost so you will be able to see what postage would be. I have also found that tracking can be somewhat sporadic after a package leaves the U.S. I will guarantee that your item will be sent and that tracking (if possible) will be provided. After that I can make no guarantees. Please do not open a non delivery case with ebay as I have no control over the postal service and by bidding on my auctions you understand and agree to these terms.
The following was obtained online: The FWB 600 (This is the later model 603) included the following features: A laminated hardwood stock with an adjustable cheekpiece and buttplate. The laminated stock was stronger at the wrist than walnut stocks used with the spring piston match rifles, and the distinctive appearance of the laminated stock announced a new era. The cheekpiece mechanism was simple yet easy to adjust. The butt-plate was vertically adjustable and could be adjusted for length using spacers.
A rifled barrel with a length of 16.6 inches. This inner barrel, however, was surrounded by a 25 long outer barrel tube that served several purposes. This arrangement allowed the loading port to be located near the rear sight, minimizing the time the slow moving pellet spent in the barrel, while allowing for a normal sight radius. The balance of the rifle could be adjusted moving (or removing) a sliding weight mounted on the outer barrel tube.
The cocking mechanism was hinged in the front with the power stroke on closing. This made it easier to cock than the Walther LGR, lessening shooter fatigue over a 60 shot match. It should be noted, however, that the cocking effort on the FWB 600 was greater than that of the spring piston match rifles.
An excellent two stage trigger, adjustable for pull weight and over-travel without tools.
A dovetail mounted match rear sight and an 18mm front globe sight. Sight riser blocks could easily be mounted to raise the line of sight.While the FWB 600/601 ruled 10 meter match air shooting after its introduction in 1984, by 1990 Walther, Anschutz and Diana had all introduced pneumatic match air rifles with the same basic layout as the FWB 600. This stiff competition led Feinwerkbau to introduce the FWB 602 in 1995. Improvements over the FWB 600/601incorporated into the FWB 602 included: Pull length adjustments were controlled by a hex cap screw, eliminating the need for spacers. The cheekpiece mechanism was retained by a cap screw, making it easier to remove for adjustment.
The ergonomics of the stock were improved. A three point bedding system was implemented for mounting the barreled action in the stock.
A dry fire mechanism was added.
The trigger was improved to decrease lock-time. The ability to independently adjust overall pull weight and slack weight was added.
A completely new and vastly improved rear sight was introduced. The front sight diameter was increased to 22mm. When introduced in 1984, the FWB 600 was billed as recoilless. But of course this was not strictly true. An 8.2 gram pellet accelerating to 175 meters per second causes an equal and opposite reaction to the 4.9 kilogram rifle. The resulting muzzle movement is nearly imperceptible for the club shooter. However, it is a different matter for the international shooter competing at the very highest level. These shooters drive technical innovation among the highly competitive precision air rifle manufacturers. Accordingly, Feinwerkbau introduced the FWB 603 in1997. The FWB 603 was very similar to the FWB 602 with the addition of a vibration dampening compensator to eliminate the miniscule muzzle movement caused by the accelerating pellet. This listing complies with eBay’s air gun guidelines found here and I will only sell and ship air guns to buyers in jurisdictions where permitted by applicable laws
