    Just got a new HW 50K .177

    Very interesting to see the 'Hunter' (K model) with a standard Weihrauch stock; I thought all the 'Hunters' came with the stock as pictured in @djna's post. Either way that's a great setup; I'd like to see how the top of the breech area (the holes) have been treated on those K models; I'd also...

    Hw50S front globe

    I installed a Weihrauch moderator onto my HW50S, a process that required the temporary removal of the front sight globe assembly. After removing and re-installing the sight assembly I can easily see how the assembly could come off unexpectedly, if the attachment hardware is not sufficiently...

    My HW80 is on life support after bear trap injury

    This newbie respectfully requests an explanation of what exactly a 'bear trap' occurrence is please! I'm assuming it's a spring release while the barrel is 'broken' for reloading?

    New hw50

    Nice write up! As for being overwhelmed by PA choices, I give 3 thumbs up for such a great selection of products! :D I would like to hear a little more about the scope & rings, looks like a nice setup albeit a little shorter than most (much like my own BugBuster). Additionally, thanks for the...

    Price estimate LE R9

    @Mycapt65, that gun is gorgeous! What's the power level like in .20 cal? What do you like for pellets in that caliber? :)

    HW50s

    I must be lucky. My newly acquired HW50S was EZ to zero, both with factory irons and the BugBuster 3-12X32 I installed onto it. My only issue is that the relatively short length of the scope affects eye relief, which I tried to compensate for by shifting the scope as far back as possible; still...

    Newby Question.

    The 'Galling' seems to be a result of the barrel cocking lever (or hinge point) contacting the underside of the receiver during the cocking stroke. While installing a Vortek tuning kit into my HW50S I did not see any sign of contact between the aforementioned surfaces, but I still left a decent...

    Peep Sight Question

    I asked a similar question a while back and a member replied that they removed the sight leaf and re-installed the original cover & screws; that's what I eventually did and it works great! :) BTW, the above hole cover is about as nice a solution as I've seen 👍

    Peep Sight Question

    @Telephonepete, the stock on your rifle looks fabulous....Appears to be a new-style factory Weihrauch stock but with a serious tweak...Is it walnut, did you add anything to the butt pad? Custom refinish job? (y)

    Weihrauch HW35 Tune Kits

    Both Vortek kits I received included a small container of grease; during my installations I cleaned and de-burred the receivers prior to kit installation. The HW50S was a breeze to disassemble/reassemble mainly due to the nifty 'lug' retention design; the HW30S, with a slightly smaller receiver...

    Weihrauch HW35 Tune Kits

    I've recently installed two Vortek kits in Weihrauch rifles and I'm pleased with the results. Both installations included new Vortek moly piston seals (at additional cost) and I'm very impressed with the quality and fitment of the kits.

    AoA pre order

    I'm pretty sure that PA gets their Weihrauch's directly from the manufacturer; my HW50S includes 'manual' info imprinted on the receiver indicating the manual source is PA (or their 'parent' company, something like Air Venturi/Ohio). My HW30S, sourced from AoA, lists 'manual' info from Germany.

    Open sight option for HW77 K

    If you are looking for a nice sight for your Weihrauch take a look at the Williams FP-AG-TK, it sits a little higher than the stock iron sight so it may be just what you are looking for. I just installed one on my HW30S and while researching aftermarket iron sights I thought I saw a user who had...
