HW/Weihrauch Question for HW30 shooters (particularly if they also shoot an HW97)
- Traditional Airguns
- 21 Replies
Hi Tarheel, I originally put a Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 AO on mine for plinking and targets. I liked the vantage and it worked great to 30 yards or so. When I realized (happily surprised) the HW30S .177 could actually hit a 4” target at 50 yards I kicked myself for getting the Vantage 2-7 because I was certain a higher power would have been better. I bit the bullet and bought a Hawke 4-12x40 AO Airmax and mounted it just a couple weeks ago. What a difference. So if you have the budget for that higher power scope (the vantage also comes in that magnification for a bit less $s), that’s what I’d recommend. lifetime warranty. Word of advice though, if you are not familiar with the “artillery hold” when shooting a Springer I strongly recommend you do some research on YouTube for advice. It will be well worth your time. You will love the HW30 I’m certain. Hope that helps. But if you are on a tight budget the 2-7 would be fine if up to 30 yards is your range with occasional 50. i was using the 2-7 to consistoy hit a 4” target at 50y, but I get pretty darn good groups with the AIRMAX 4-12.

Personal taste.. Unless your French polishing it ,it will gloss and look like shellac. It dries way to fast and is difficult to work with extended periods. It’s personal preference. . That being said ,what I use may Not be everyone’s mug of beer either.
That makes sense.
I applied a tiny amount at a time and kept rubbing it in until it was virtually dry. I applied around 10 coats that way, and it really brought out the beauty of the wood without giving it a shellacked look.Upvote 0

hBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride) vs fouling

VWould you have an explanatory video on how to polish the barrel? I have a Vulcan 3 and I have to constantly clean the barrel, otherwise the shot grouping doesn't work well.Tenho atirado com muitos projéteis ultimamente e notei que eles sujam o cano bem mais rápido do que os chumbinhos.
Minha busca por uma solução me levou ao polimento de canos, lubrificação de projéteis, etc.
Recentemente, fui apresentado a um produto de revestimento de cano/projétil chamado hBN (Hexagonal Boron Nitride). Supostamente, ele tem um dos menores atritos do planeta e alega preencher as imperfeições microscópicas.
View attachment 509892
Segui o conselho de limpar completamente um cano para remover todo o acúmulo/sujeira e quaisquer produtos de petróleo. Então misturei o hBN com álcool 99%, esfreguei o cano, deixei descansar por 20 minutos e então puxei alguns remendos secos.
Nossa,isso é uma coisa muito louca e engenhosa!!!
A pólvora alega ter 0,5 mícrons, resistência ao calor de 900° e ter resistência à pressão super alta. Existem alguns queimadores de pólvora de longo alcance que juram por essa coisa, então por que não usá-la em armas de ar comprimido?
Alguns dizem que isso minimiza a dispersão extrema, enquanto a maioria diz que reduz significativamente o acúmulo e facilita uma limpeza rápida e fácil.
Provavelmente vou acabar limpando/revestindo meus projéteis na mesma solução e depois polir (limpá-los) com uma toalha de microfibra. Voltarei em alguns dias para compartilhar minhas descobertas. Mas se alguém já usou isso, por favor, comente.
*atualização - Disseram-me que para que o hBN cristalize e se incorpore corretamente, devemos disparar alguns projéteis revestidos de hBN (fire-lap) através dele depois que a pólvora secar no cano.

RAW Rapid Always dependable and amazing

I am not spending but a fraction of my time on airguns since reducing my collection from 22 rifles to 5. However, one of the rifles I kept was my Raw .22 Chassis. with the barrel recently modified by Martin to accept the 0db moderator, it consistently shoots sub moa using the 25.4 series pellets.
The squirrels are doing a lot of damage to our landscaping. This afternoon I had it out for a few minutes when a squirrel appeared at about 87 yards. I dialed the Hawke Sidewinder the prescribed 32 clicks and made a perfect quartering shot that went in behind the shoulder and out the back of the skull. It flopped twice and that was it.
I am glad I kept this one in particular. Very low maintenance and deadly accurate.

Got it assembled, was the only place could think off, as there is a slot in the stock to clear for. No idea what could it be for, other than some spacer. Thanks for your help.
