HW/Weihrauch  How can I service my tuned weihrauch air rifle?

If you've seen my previous posts you can see I have a tuned weihrauch hw77k, I think the stock is custom aswell. I don't use it so its sitting inside the case for majority of the time.

My problem is how would I get it serviced every few years if its tuned and custom. Is there any risk of the internals being ruined if I send it to a local Air rifle shop to service it instead of the person who tuned it. I bought it off someone else and I live far from the person who tuned it. I don't think I can even get their details either.

FX  Impact Trigger block

Has anyone had to replace their trigger block on their impact? If you did have much was it? I'm having a heck of a time removing the Oring in the regulator bore. It is known to be a real PITA! I think my problem is I think it's the original one from 2019 and has gotten real hard. I'm afraid I might have scratched the bore or groove with my brass Oring pick.

FX  FX M-set it and forget it

Figured I would share an overview of a recent project because I think a lot of shooters try to achieve something similar but always have to settle or compromise a little. I’ll try not to bore anyone but I have to set this up. Every year I travel to my camp in another state to hunt deer. I always take an airgun for down time fun shooting and hunting if I get a deer. I’ve found myself over gunned and I’ve found myself under gunned over the years. Then I found myself traveling with two or three guns. This year I had my M3 on a trip as a fantastic pellet gun. It took care of business. Until I started having late night coyote episodes across from my camp. My pellet tune had head shot accuracy to 100 yards. After that, and I mean shortly after that, the pellet gets seriously drunk. The coyotes were always 130-190 yards away. I had a pack of slugs with me and burned through all of them one day trying to find a slug setting that I was confident with. It didn’t happen. The next trip I just took my .30 RTI that has a pellet/slug tune with a FX liner. But a .30 is a cannon of a plinker so I wanted to figure something out with my little M3. The second all the seasons were done and the weather went to poop, I put on my thinking cap and dug into my barrel collection. I wanted to have the gun set on an efficient accurate slug tune and also be able to shoot hunting pellets without touching a thing. Definitely not the valve knob and preferably not even the hammer wheel. I wanted to run the optimum tune for everything. I knew the slug I wanted to use but after so many hours jumping from the lathe to prone position in the shop to shoot, I just couldn’t get it and pellets to work. I am waiting on another custom reamer and I will try it again on another barrel. So then I switched to another slug and started trying to find a compromise with it and pellets. Back to pulling the barrel out of the lathe, sliding it in the gun and shooting to the back corner of the shop 50 yards away. After quite a few evenings, it was time for some serious shooting. What I have is at 128b and I touch nothing to shoot one slug, three hunting pellets and two dome plinking or shoot impressive group pellets. The 30gr slug is going 920fps. All slugs group on a 1.5” spinner at 100 yards. Hades/Atomics are going 940fps and one .45 cal hole at 50 yards. H&N 27.47 HP are 938fps and all touch at 50 yards. H&N Baracuda Extremes are 914fps and all touch at 50 yards. I haven’t shot the 25.39 or 33.95’s yet for groups but I would be shocked if they didn’t do great. I might have to click the wheel one or two clicks for the 25.39. I will check that later because now I’m in the practical shoot phase. I have been Window Willy Critter Sniper with the slugs. Floating between 40 and 88 yards popping stuff. Checking first shot consistency and how many shots until the gun opens up. Then I will pull some patches and see how the pellets do. This gun is my hunting gun. Giant paper punching scope came off and it’s back to how I hunt with it. Internally it’s stock except for some plenum work so my first shot is within spec and a blueprinted second reg. So now that I no longer have to get my hands dirty, I will just keep testing to see if any issues pop up. Mainly POI issues with the slugs. I already know that if I mix shooting pellets and slugs, the slugs open up more quickly so a couple patches are necessary when I switch. Going from a goo barrel slug gun to pellets? They don’t really care at hunting distances. I will also start stretching the pellets out to see when they start getting woozy. Just 2 pics. One of hopefully my favorite small/medium game gun. And one of my mistress. Well at least that’s what my girlfriend called my lathe for the last month.

Other  Scope Power/Less = OK

With my spring powered guns I generally shoot and hunt 50 yards an under.
My preference has always been for something 6-10 power(and often a 4x is just fine) . As long as the scope is clear and parallax adjustable I have never found myself to shoot smaller groups with higher powered scopes if the aiming point is clear. On one of my antique Schuetzen powder burners I shoot at 200 yd. recently I went from an 8 power to a 14 power and my groups were the same...( Granted it is not a .25 MOA gun but about .50- .75 moa when shooting well.

Maybe I'm the only one, but some people seem to think that You need a 36x power scope to shoot a decent group at close range.....

Brocock/BRK  Tuning

Who’s tuned their BRK Ghost ? I’ve seen many owners who’ve tuned their ghosts and then again many who haven’t. So my question…..

Is it really worth it for pest control or is it all more aimed towards target shooters ? What is your set up ie reg pressures, barrel length, pellet / slug choice running at ? ( ft/lb )
Obviously I know the uk sub 12 owners (like myself) can’t really do much, but I’m always interested to see what’s achievable for future reference
Thanks in advance

Really?

After years of air gunning you probably think you know what the terms mean.
Or do you? How about these definitions.

Eye relief. What you get when you finally buy a quality scope sight.
Rifle sleeve. A rifle is an arm, sleeves go on arms.
Gun slip. Worn under a female guns petticoat.
Hunter. A person who spends hours looking for his quarry, seconds taking a shot, and minutes cursing when he misses.
Muzzle velocity. The speed at which the end of the barrel is moving.
Acre. Describes part of the body after a day in a cramped hide.
Fieldcraft. A small boat for crossing flooded meadows.
Musket. A small mouse.
Musketoon. An amusing drawing of a mouse.
Prone. Your position 0.6 seconds after tripping over a root.
Peep sight. A quick glance through a key hole.
4 x 4. Should be called a 16.
Piston. What we get while in a leaking hide when it's raining.
Pellet. A small, usually lead object, designed to be dropped when urgently needed.
Dovetail. A natural growth at the rear of some species of birds.
Deer rifle. An expensive gun.
Gun oil. "Oil get round to lubricating one day."
Gunwriter. Someone who carves their initials in a beautiful walnut stock.
Tap loading gun. A water pistol.
Underlever gun. A misnomer as almost all break barrel guns have at least per of the leaver under the barrel.

That's enough for now, I have a lot more if you want them.

Should i sell or keep my weihrauch hw77k air rifle?

I like it and it looks very nice but I never used it because I don't have any space in my garden to shoot it. Would you recommend i sell it or keep it as a collectors item sort of thing. Got a feeling id regret selling it even though I don't use it. Should I get a cabinet and store it properly and keep it

When life blows up your jeep motor ....

You pull it, rebuild it, and install it in less than a week.

Yup, it blew up last weekend, so from Monday till yesterday morning I was doing all that's shown in pics, didn't take anything to a machine shop, did it all on my own. Well of course with the help of Peri! Drove about 100 miles on it so far and it's 👌

Oh and great news.... I FINALLY secured a permission for some winged rats!.. pigeons at the farm I've been frequenting. Back to airgunning I go. Also time to buy a backup vehicle, being stuck at home was arguably the worst , even though I love it here lol.

Really though, what a stressful week, very glad to be back to normalcy and get back to shooting!

N/A  Is Your Favorite Pistol Your Best Pistol?

My most expensive is my HW75. But it's not my favorite.
My best trigger is on my Beeman P3, but it's not my favorite.
My most accurate is my Crosman 2300KT 10" LW barrel, but it's not my favorite.
My most fun plinking pistol is my 2240, but it's not my favorite.
My prettiest pistol is my HW75 with the brilliant grip extension and stocks made by BeardofGrayling, but it's not my favorite.

These things should make for a favorite pistol, but for some reason do not because my favorite pistol is my HW70.
Not sure why, there is just something special about it.

Beeman  HW-97K .20 Custom Venom

Now I know why I never invite any airgunners around, because I don't remember this one! These guns would simply "walk off" the premises without me realizing the gun is missing many years later.
Stumbled on this one today looking for an R-9 blue laminate in the pile. Didn't find the R-9 just yet, but this one is a better find.
Mike A stock, skipline checkering, and executive brake with all the bells and whistles. Looks like JM trigger blade and guard.
It definitely has a venom tune. I'm sure it was the best Venom had to offer at the time.
I also don't remember an Elite 3200 having that kind of reticle.

N/A  How to make an ergonomic bolt knob/handle for 50 cents in 10 minutes

I have made several ergonomic bolt knobs.

The AEA HP SS has the most brutal hammer spring and the smallest bolt knob I have seen.
I have also done that for the Crosman Icon, not because it really needs it, but it makes the pull slightly more comfortable.

The bolt knobs are made of thermoplastic, also known as moldable plastic or polymorph.
It comes in small white granules that you heat up (in hot water) and mold together.
It can be molded (like playdough), by hand, for a few minutes.
This is enough to make simpler shapes like a bolt knob.

It sticks to many things, and it slightly shrinks when it cools down.
This means that it will stay where you place it.
It is also extremely tough, and very hard to break.

The original color is white, but (using water based ink) the color can be changed to whatever you like.

I have attached photos of everything.
