HW/Weihrauch  I think this 1974 HW30 may need some attention...

MDriskill
This older thread has some historical tidbits on those old HW 30's, and some notes on the one I reworked. You will note my "before" photo looks pretty much exactly like yours! I guarantee they were both ARH guns.

HW/Weihrauch  HW50 in .22

maxtrouble
I have a .22 HW50. Great for plinking. My nickname for it is "The Crusher!". I shoot the .22 5.53's H&N Field Target Trophies with it. Vortek kit installed putting out 13 fpe.

Shoot curve is loopy but I do not care. It hits cans with authority and I am always shooting at 55 and 80 yards. It will not penetrate most heavy cans, instead it will put a huge dent in the can and bounce off.

I have a stock .177 HW50 that I stole from Krale during Christmas. Setup for open sight shooting it is a hoot to shoot but harder to cock than an HW95.

My springers are like golf clubs. Each one is setup a little differently. The spice of life.

CF Tank what and where?

markT
the frame about 6' tall. Very large cast steel "flywheel" and large motor... Looks like Alkin is made in Turkey and office in NJ according to Google search.. They said the price to fix it was very expensive...
Went today to get a fill and my AL SUBA tank requires "hydro" .. 2-3 weeks.. The kid working dint know much about CF tanks so I'm Going back on Monday to speak with owner about CF tanks and possible options...

Umarex  Copper coated H&N vs normal lead in Notos

Thanks for the input. I hooked it back up to compressor and filled back to 4000 psi, my Huben gauge on the input (fill) side reads exactly 4000 psi as does my compressor gauge. The 1250 psi is on the regulated side. I bled it all down to about 1k psi, hooked compressor back up and ran it until pressurized and all 3 gauges read 1k psi.

I might try another gauge on the regulated side just to triple check, but it appears all 3 are in sync at varying pressures. Going to fill all way back up today and see how many total shots I get before it equalizes @ 1250 on both sides of the regulator. My math says it should get around 140 full shots before it goes below the regulator @ 1250 psi but we will see.

Definitely not a bad thing to get those results at that pressure

Thank you AGN members

Ha Ha Ha ... let's see how grateful y'all are once the enablers get you to spend every single dime and minute of time you have on airguns. :ROFLMAO:

Im already doing that on my own. The enablers are keeping me from wasting those dimes on inappropriate rabbit holes that they have already mapped out.

For me I will be eternally grateful. Without going into a lot of details this forum and airguns in general helped get me out of a pretty low place. The blind kindness I have received means the world to me and I can't possibly say thank you enough.

RAW Rapid  RAW HM1000x Accuracy Issues

Moonpie
mubhaur said:
So that is a technical question. Although I am not a professional tuner but I do tuning for pleasure.

Accuracy is a combination of projectile, barrel, rpm of the projectile and fps.

Now if we keep the projectile and barrel constant, the rest of accuracy depends on fps and effective rpm.

Effective rpm are different from twist rate of barrel.

When a projectile is shot from a barrel, we need to achieve the best combination of fps and rpm of the projectile for extreme accuracy.

The actual phenomenon is the as the projectile moves forward, the rpm do not reduces as rapidly as the fps is reduced.

In order to keep the best combination of fps and rpm of the projectile, we need to maintain the best combination between the both.

If the accuracy is fine at 50 yards it means that rpm and fps combination is fine for that distance. But if you stretch to 100 yards, the rpm does not get slow down with same ratio as the fps slows down. This disturbs the effective combination of rpm and fps as well as accuracy.

That is why in order to achieve the best possible accuracy at any distance, the rpm and fps needs to be maintained for that distance.

One adjustment to achieve this combination is HST.
