I'm a relative newcomer to the HW77. I came upon this Beeman HW77K in .20 caliber on the AGN classifieds about a year ago. From the serial number I think it's a MK II from about 1985. It is a 25mm piston. Totally taken with that Goudy stock, really a graceful look to it. It was shooting a bit...

Thanks to you both. That‘s enough information for me to get to work on it. Jay

I have an older (1970?) HW35 that has been converted to a plastic piston seal. I want to change it back to a leather seal. I have the leather seal on order but I can't find the other parts I need. From pictures, it looks like I would need a plastic cup like part to fit inside the leather seal...

I don’t know about NIB but one just sold on the AGN’s classifieds. The seller was asking $750. You can find it with a search.

Pictured is my modest collection of .20 caliber air rifles. The one on the bottom, the Beeman HW77K, is the newest one (to the collection). It came to me with a trigger set so light that at one point I clicked off the safety and the gun fired. Nice .20 caliber hole in the kitchen ceiling :( I...

I'm a real fan of the .20 caliber Weihrauchs and have been adding to my modest collection. From top to bottom: R9 wearing a Custom Stock CS500 HW98 HW50S with a walnut Maccari stock Beeman HW77K, I think it's a Mark II from about 1985 I'm just learning the HW77. It's the first under lever I've...

The HW50S is often the winner in my mind for the “if you could only have one air rifle” thought experiment. Small, lightweight and accurate. Relatively easy to cock and still packs a reasonable punch. In .20 caliber it’s absolutely superb. That said, I also have an R9 (HW95) in .20 caliber that...

I'm also a real .20 caliber fan. I have two: an HW50S and an R9. Both terrific rifles, smooth shot cycle and deadly accurate. HW50S Beeman R9 These are the only rifles I have that have custom walnut stocks. I bought the R9 stock from fellow AGN'er, Darchule. While exchanging emails I...

A set of gun screw driver bits is certainly the most important tool(s) to start with. I recently bought an R9 on the classifieds here. Really a beautiful gun that had been well taken care of. Unfortunately the previous owner had used a set of utility drawer screw drivers when doing a tune and...

Beautiful! I’ve always been fond of the Ted Williams. Both pretty special pistols. Jay

I got this scope when I bought a used rifle so I don’t know too much about it. It seems to have all the features you’d want in an air rifle scope and is in excellent condition. Comes with rings and shades shown in the picture. $95 shipped to the CONUS. PayPal F&F preferred.

The iron sights on my FWB Sport are really elegant but unfortunately my old eyes just don't do that well with them. So this thread really caught my attention. I thought the Williams WGRS 54 rear sight would be just the ticket keeping things on the minimalist side. After a while that sight showed...

I have to agree with @Swirlfugger that a lube tune is all that’s required to start with. The few new Weihrauchs I’ve purchased seem to shoot a bit rough right out of the box. The HW50 is a wonderful rifle. You made an excellent choice for your friend. Jay

It is a Sheridan Model A Supergrade. I was going to refer you to the website run by UJ Backus which has been my go to for years but it doesn’t seem to be up anymore which is a bit distressing. There are two books which you may be able to find. ”Sheridan Classic American Air Rifles” by UJ Backus...
