    FS: Weihrauch HW97K .177 Blue Laminate, San Diego area

    Edit 6/14. Still looking for a local sale in so cal. So far five non local members expressed interest in having me ship it. I would like to let the ad run a bit longer to see if any local interest. Thanks. Hi, This is my mint HW97K .177 cal, bought new from Krale several years ago. LNIB...

    Bacterial disease is spread by fleas that jump from raccoons, possums, rats ....

    What a shame about the cats. See if there is a private cat rescue in your area. They may have a trap/spay (neuter)/release program. The group here is called the Feral Cat Coalition. In addition to spay/neuter, they also take care of any medical issues before releasing. Non-feral, homeless cats...

    Hand pump friendly pcp

    The 12 ft-lb version of the HW110 .177 gets 110-120 shots per fill. I think the .22 is similar. I forget the reservoir size but I fill with a Benjamin pump and it's not bad at all. When I take it to the rifle range for longer distance shooting, I don't even bother to bring the pump. 50 shots...

    HW110 at 50 yards

    Yes, the moderator screws off. Some sellers (not Krale) apparently apply epoxy to prevent the moderator from being removed. I presume because they are uncertain about US sound suppressor laws as they apply to air guns. I wouldn't not buy one because of a bonded moderator, but since it was...

    HW110 at 50 yards

    I bought the HW110 from Krale. Ordered on a Sunday evening, had it Wednesday morning. They sell the full power (FAC) versions as well. For mainly backyard use and also because I hand-pump, I wanted the high shot count, lower power version. I was surprised a 12FPE gun did that well at 50...

    HW110 at 50 yards

    .177 cal, 12 FPE version. Shooting 10.65 grain H&N Baracuda pellets. Getting 120-130 shots per fill (before gauge goes into the yellow zone) This was at a rifle range. The 110 was more accurate than the .TC 22 rifle I was also shooting. At home, I can only get about 16 yards, resulting in...

    Is it okay to carry airgun parts from New Jersey Airport?

    I have heard anecdotes on gun forums of TSA seizing harmless gun-related parts, like a butt stock or pistol grip, claiming other passengers could be bringing more parts to assemble a complete gun. Oh brother. I think there is no rhyme or reason to it, possibly it is somewhat based on the whim...

    Shipping Air Rifle .22 to Illinois?

    I wouldn't tell the shipper what the contents are. There is no requirement to declare an air gun. It's not a firearm. They are likely only going to hear the word "gun" and either refuse to ship it or say you need to be an FFL and/or have it send it to another FFL. That said, if you do declare...

    Spoiled or Ruined? Either Way it Doesn’t Sound Very Good!

    Shooting a PCP at short distances (like in my backyard) is pretty boring. Pellet after pellet in the same hole with no real effort. I find springers more fun at home where I do the vast majority of my airgun shooting. If I had easy access to longer distances, my lone PCP would get more trigger...

    Ridiculous Hunting Laws in UK

    Wow, that's a shame. I like crows and don't blame them for doing their thing, but yeah, shoot them if they are stalking livestock. If you're in the middle of a huge farm, how would some limey code enforcer(/game office or whatever they are called over there) know if you were shooting the crows...

    AEAC VLog video - Weihrauch HW110 Carbine .22 (regulated)

    The safety is pretty loud on my 110.

    AEAC VLog video - Weihrauch HW110 Carbine .22 (regulated)

    I have to agree on the trigger. Stellar. I have the 12 ft-lb .177 version. Ultra-quiet, 110-120 shots per fill. This was an upgrade from a MROD (since sold), And I'm using a hand pump just like Steve mentions.

    Weihrauch HW77K Special Edition .177

    Yeah, it's about $50 shipping. Still typically comes out cheaper than US retailers, at least for Weihrauch guns. Although lately I've noticed AoA is pretty close in price on certain models. I think they were advertising the 77KSE for $499 with free shipping. Krale ended up being about $475...
