refinishing FWB air gun stocks

[nilebartram]

I have 3 FWB,(Feinwerkbau) air rifles, 124, 300, 601, they were my late fathers. I think he started to do some work on the stocks, just sanded. Should I finish the project or leave them as they are? nilebartram

Leave them unless you knew exactly what he was planning

FWB’s are very nice rifles. Do with them as you think he wished or whatever will make you happy. I know the 601’s were originally finished in lacquer. I can’t say for the others. Of course you can finish them in oil or whatever you like.

I just removed the original lacquer from an FWB 300 stock and refinished it with tung oil.

Same here. Did the same thing. This is my rifle I use to get rid of ferrel pigeons and ring necks that poop around the house. Deadly accurate. JSB Match Diabolo doomed pellets. NIKON P tactical efr scope on BKL high ring mounts. It's a 10 meter air rifle, but it's deadly out to 40 yards.
