Yeah they only made these rifles like this for 50 plus years and PCPs never have trouble. I'm done trying to help. You don't want help. You just want to complain. BTW if you took the main spring out you wouldn't have had to chance to damaging the gun pressing out the CA rivet. Oh and a bent spring doesn't necessarily mean its bad. Any stock weihrauch that doesn't buzz has a bent spring in it.
Fyi....I also mentioned my HW 95 that became pretty much inoperable and that was because the spring was shattered to pieces but I’m sure your help would have remedied the manufacturing process and that would’ve never happened
Yeah you need a break. We can use a break too. For the record I've already explained to what degree the problem is and how to fix it if you choose. I've also said in this thread that Weihrauch springs are junk. In other threads I've shown and explained how Weihrauch quality has slipped in the last 7 or 8 years. I've worked on bunches of these things but you won't find anyone with a more pragmatic outlook on these rifles so if you're calling me a fanboy you're way off.
Ha - ya beat me to it! I just popped over here after seeing that pic in another thread, to correct my post above. Yes, apparently the HW 30 is even older than I gave it credit for.
FWIW, Maccari from time to time sells this bit that works the same way:
I don't know yet, but it's a very stout piece of stuff. It's been in an old HW 50 for years with no issues.
