HW/Weihrauch Lost….But not forgotten

Jump to latest Follow Reply
The Walther was reported lost a week and a half. They called and we’re going to refund the sender. Yesterday I see an e-mail from Thursday, (I’m not an e-mail person). I can go pickup my parcel. This one was shipped on June 12th. Thought this one was gone as well.
I’ve had dozens of rifles all shipped to me, never had an issue, late, damage or scratch. These 2 may be a warning. Crow

Well over a year ago I ordered a HW30 .22 Stainless, as well a HW77 .20 and a HW98 .25. The 30 came in just before Christmas 24. Right when there was first talks of tariffs. I wanted those out ASAP.
At the same time I made a trade for 6 rifles for my collection of autographs, (hockey players) I saved up while in business for over 40 years now. Great timing.
AoA told me at the time the 30 came in, the 98 was no longer available. But a new 95 walnut stainless, not even listed yet is available . I made the first sale on this 95. And I bought a HW97kt Walnut .20. Spending 1/2 of my trade. The 30 will have company coming home.
The 3 left on January 3rd to Airgun Archery Fun in Saskatchewan, then to me. I can’t wait.
3 weeks go by. Nothing, call AoA they track to LA customs. OK. Few more weeks go by. Nothing, still in LA. Another week goes by and it leaves for the border. Right on. Then like Houdini it disappears. 5 1/2 months later I still cry myself to sleep every night.
‘Then I get an e-mail from Wes at Airgun Archery Fun that he just paid the duties on the guns. Shut up. For 2 more weeks I wait and today they made it home. UnbelievableView attachment 575502View attachment 575508View attachment 575510View attachment 575511View attachment 575515View attachment 575516Man is my head swimming. 6 months to the day. 5 1/2 months to the border. Had it in 2 weeks. Wes is the best.
Next time I’m going to ask for pony express. Crow
Hopefully have scopes and shoot them tonight.

Miracles do happen, they all look really classy. That HW98 in 25 cal would be cool as well.

Am I getting this straight. You ordered rifles from AoA , had them shipped to Airgun archery fun for import reasons . Then Wes shipped them to you? If that’s right , I had no idea this was even possible . I’ve looked at many a good deal on the AoA website and thought too bad there was no way to get one up here to Canada.


Oh ya. That’s got to be the nicest HW95 I’ve seen. Very nice collection you’ve got going.
