The Bisley pad has been a good choice for many years. R1lover has done a beautiful job installing them on many HW's - here is his guide on how to do it: https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/how-i-install-a-bisley-adjustable-butt-pad-24-photos.908433/

Nice! Thanks for showing that off.

This was done long ago...off a rest indoors at a mere 10 meters...but by an iron-sighted recoiling gun wielded by old guy, LOL. Note it's 8 shots. Used a Walther LGV "Olympia" made in the 1960's.

I would agree, $150 or so max. It needs a lot of work, and no sights.

Looks good! Definitely a beech stock.

Because I just can't shut the heck up when it comes to airgun trivia...sorry :rolleyes:...note that the most powerful Marksman models were built around the Weihrauch HW 85 action I think. But the model numbers - 55 and 70 - were tributes to BSF's most famous sporters. The BSF 55 carbine was very...

That looks super! Looking forward to the end result.

It's for a traditional target sling, which mounts to a single point on the front of the gun, and is adjusted around the upper part of the shooter's forward arm, thus adding a very solid third point of support. Back in the day a fixture for military and hunting use. Often made so that they can...

OK this is an insult prolly six levels below your HW expertise! But something I always do with new-to-me guns, is give the stock inletting a look and a light sanding...the smallest unevenness of raised grain, etc., can cause some weird behavior. I once (rather unethically actually :rolleyes:)...

For the record, AFAIK the rail is a more or less standard Anschutz-ish size? I've found various Anschutz and other brands of goodies over the years that fit the rails on FWB's (and some HW 55's). These can be great fun to goof about with.

I'm kinda surprised that Weihrauch collectors have not "discovered" these interesting hybrids! They are fascinating and rare guns. The current HW 98 (aka Beeman R11) combines features of two innovative designs which, to the best of my knowledge, were created for Marksman. Note the adjustable...

The "Perfekt" trigger is mounted in a modular box, very similar to the famous "Rekord" (they can actually be interchanged). It is somewhat simpler, with one less intermediate lever, and does not have a weight adjustment. It's still alive and well - though not seen much any more - and was used in...

As noted above, it's one of the rather fascinating guns made for a couple years after Weihrauch purchased the old BSF factory. It is a variant of the old HW 50 (DIFFERENT from the current gun called that), with a "Perfekt' trigger, BSF rear sight and scope rail, and rocking safety lever mounted...

This is why you ask the experts! o_O I didn't even hear the second noise...

I agree, I've never been a fan of the poor selection of inserts HW offers for their front sights, and their diameter and side tab pattern is proprietary - no other brand will fit. Seems to me the market is wide open for some enterprising sort to offer some photo-etch alternatives. I use ring...
