Pre WWI BSA ‘Standard Pattern’ .22 Calibre Air Rifle. 21308. - 21308
The serial No 222 on the barrel dates this rifle to early 1907. When mention is made of the BSA Standard No1 and Standard No2 spring to mind., but it should be remembered that BSA referred to their full length .177 and .22 air rifles as the standard. In 1907 BSA used the term ‘ordinary pattern’ to differentiate the full length .177 from the light pattern, and by 1909 the company was calling the full length rifles the standard pattern. This 45 ¾ “.22 example is in fine condition with some blueing missing to expose the nice metalwork. It has the usual BSA piled arms trademark stamped to the stock. The wooden stock is showing minor signs of age related wear and is the correct pre WWI item *minor repair above pistol grip*. The rifle has been chronographed and cocks, loads and fires as it should. See page 57 onwards in ‘The Book of the BSA Air Rifle 1905 to 1939’ by John Milewski (available on our website). The price for this piece of history includes UK delivery. 21308.

‘FWB’ Feinwerkbau Model 300S .177 Calibre Air Rifle. 21266:1. - 21266:1
Manufactured by Feinwerkbau Westinger & Altenburger in West Germany. This rifles serial number 208735 indicates it was manufactured in 1976. This rifle is in very good original condition with the blueing on the barrel and action in excellent order with only a few minor marks to the blued finish. The walnut stock likewise is in very good order with only the odd marks from usage. The FWB (Feinwerkbau) 300S is a recoilless, sidelever, spring-piston competition airgun. Stretching 43 inches from end to end, and weighing just under 5kg The competition-style stock is beech with a satin walnut finish. Forward of the vertical pistol grip is the trigger guard which is made of black plastic and which features three adjustment holes in the bottom plate. Cocking and loading the FWB 300S is almost effortless; the side-cocking lever is about 10.5 inches long. About two inches back from the forward end; another small lever with a raised bump on its nose is inset into the cocking lever. To use the cocking lever, you must press down on this bump, and the cocking lever swings free. The rear sight is micro-adjustable: one click of either the elevation or wind age knobs changes the point of impact by 0.5mm at 10 meters. The 300S is a spring-powered gun; FWB removes recoil from it through a novel arrangement: when a shot is triggered, the movement of the piston trips a sear which releases the entire receiver to slide back about ¼ “while the stock remains motionless. The rubber butt plate is adjustable. Just loosen one screw and it slides up or down to meet your need. The walnut cheek piece can be raised by turning a screw on the bottom of the stock. The adjustability of the 300S makes it possible for people of many shapes and sizes to get comfortable for high- accuracy shooting with this rifle. The rifle has been chronographed and it cocks loads and fires with a very smooth action. The price includes UK delivery. NB as a post 1939 Air Weapon the restrictions of the Crime Reduction Act with regards to the sale and delivery of this item apply.21266:1.
