Is this a FBM?

djxenex · 01-09-2013, 01:44 PM

I recently bought this thinking it was a fbm, but someone pointed out to me that it looks like an advanced concepts body. and there are some similarities. I know this is a electro cocker but figured the mech guys would know a fbm when they saw one. the milling looks like a unfinished razor to me. and ideas?

First glance to me said 'razor back'
but, its kinda, obviously, milled, FBM.. so....

so are you saying its a copy? or maybe a rough unfinished body?

I found a pic of the same body but a mini? in this post https://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?t=3636389

says its a early rayznor

found another one http://www.mcarterbrown.com/forums/e...utococker.html

looks like i did get a real fbm

No.. Im saying if someone were trying to copy it, they went to great lengths to mill the FBM logo in the side.. in the proper font..

djxenex · 01-09-2013, 03:37 PM

gotcha. yeah I was worried I made too impulsive of a buy. after searching everywhere I believe its a precursor to the rayznor body. looks pretty rough to. once i get all the parts and pieces i want for it I think I'll be off to get some anodizing. anyone know what that runs and who to go to?

Confirmed, FX anodizing does great work.

Example of gun I just got back from them

Nice FBM sir!

Looks genuine to me as i said on your other post about this.

I was the one that pointed out it may not be a FBM, my reasoning:

FBM's all had the pass through slots between upper and lower tubes.
I've never seen that FBM engraving, all the FBM's I've seen have the oval FBM logo engraved.

Not saying it's not a true FBM, just wasn't sure and hesitant on it.

Sorry what do you mean by "pass through slots between upper and lower tubes" ?

I call them slots, but others call it windows. Here is FBM's line up...... notice the windows cut from side to side between the upper and lower tubes. Also, the logo I speak of can be seen clear on the Rayzor body (oval logo).

djxenex · 01-10-2013, 11:07 AM

not all fbm's have the oval logo. here's a teardrop with the same logo as the one I got

PaulE2Cocker · 01-10-2013, 11:23 AM

I think it's legit fbm if not someone spent a lot of time on it so is say u got a good deal

djxenex · 01-10-2013, 12:15 PM

I'm actually starting to wonder if this this is an older uncommon style. I've only been able to find a couple pictures online of similar ones. this illustration above that addicted posted shows the bodies that regularly pop up when i search. does any one know the specifics of this body?

Companies did a lot of weird stuff...... there are a lot of guns that can't be explained, like my 95-96 WGP...... yes, it's a WGP but it's a P-block, P-blocks were an STO thing, but it's a RF, STO's were VF, and 95-96 were square bodied, this is round. This is a factory build as the guy I bought it from bought it brand new.

Or like the purple one I showed you, was a custom build and only two made, but was a factory build.

addicted2dunes · 01-10-2013, 01:44 PM

On a side note..... there is probably a date break on your FBM compared to say mine...... The logo is probably what will define these era's. Oval versus just the FBM engraving.

djxenex · 01-10-2013, 02:17 PM

I will post more info and pics when it arrives. I would like to know exactly what I have
