Like. If you notice most Olympians shoot with both eyes open. You should do the same with irons, peeps, scope or red dot.- MDriskill replied to the thread HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues.For many years the HW 50 was made in two versions.

- MDriskill reacted to Mycapt65's post in the thread HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues with Like. I guess it's possible to damage the forks by triggering off but that's a low powered gun and I've seen a few higher power guns triggered...
- MDriskill replied to the thread HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues.Another idea on the ill-fitting breech block - I've actually seen this one before! If the gun has been triggered off at some point...
- MDriskill replied to the thread HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues.(EDITED) No, it's a correct HW sight, used on less expensive models back in the day. Note how the front of it fits correctly into the...
- MDriskill replied to the thread HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues.Per the original post, the problem with the sight is that it won't go LOW enough (he had to aim at the bottom of the big plate to hit...
- MDriskill replied to the thread HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues.The sight elevation screw looks to be about the right size (should be about 11mm tall per pic below), but it's not threaded into the...

- MDriskill reacted to Mycapt65's post in the thread HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues with Like. The droop is a non issue with both sights on the barrel. I'm pretty sure the adjustment screw is wrong. It looks too tall. Probably from...
- MDriskill reacted to A.G.R's post in the thread HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues with Like. That’s breech hang up. The bottom area under the block need to be filed to let it drop to level it as well as may have to relieve the...
- MDriskill replied to the thread N/A old man that is newby to air guns.Keep in mind it's not just about velocity, but energy - a function of projectile mass, and the square of its velocity. Yes, a powerful...
- MDriskill replied to the thread HW/Weihrauch Hw30/Olympia Hobby pellet test..Interesting! New to me...based on your notes I won't immediately order up a couple sleeves, lol, but will give a tin a try when I see...
- I'm an old guy as well, but still pretty sharp, I got into air guns about seven years ago when ammo prices became unaffordable and...
- MDriskill replied to the thread N/A old man that is newby to air guns.I'm still hung up on the groundhog thing, and agree wholeheartedly with Mycapt65. An airgun strong enough to cleanly kill an animal that...
