The WF-600 is an interesting rifle. With a bit of work you will be surprised at the power and accuracy. Swap out that wimpy spring for a Crosman 4B spring and fill in the void in the top of piston seal post and you should get 660fps with 8gr and 700 with 7gr pellets. With some barrel polishing I got mine shooting 1 5/8" at 50 metres. Not bad for a $100 rifle.

Made some trims and some more shaving of the foregrip, next would be staining the foregrip and sanding off the original paint on the stock.

Almost there, need to find some metal strips for the middle trims and need to replace the front sight as i broke it while removing it and needs a more lower profile rear sight.
