I'm a real fan of the .20 caliber Weihrauchs and have been adding to my modest collection. From top to bottom: R9 wearing a Custom Stock CS500 HW98 HW50S with a walnut Maccari stock Beeman HW77K, I think it's a Mark II from about 1985 I'm just learning the HW77. It's the first under lever I've...

The HW50S is often the winner in my mind for the “if you could only have one air rifle” thought experiment. Small, lightweight and accurate. Relatively easy to cock and still packs a reasonable punch. In .20 caliber it’s absolutely superb. That said, I also have an R9 (HW95) in .20 caliber that...

I'm also a real .20 caliber fan. I have two: an HW50S and an R9. Both terrific rifles, smooth shot cycle and deadly accurate. HW50S Beeman R9 These are the only rifles I have that have custom walnut stocks. I bought the R9 stock from fellow AGN'er, Darchule. While exchanging emails I...

A set of gun screw driver bits is certainly the most important tool(s) to start with. I recently bought an R9 on the classifieds here. Really a beautiful gun that had been well taken care of. Unfortunately the previous owner had used a set of utility drawer screw drivers when doing a tune and...

Beautiful! I’ve always been fond of the Ted Williams. Both pretty special pistols. Jay

I got this scope when I bought a used rifle so I don’t know too much about it. It seems to have all the features you’d want in an air rifle scope and is in excellent condition. Comes with rings and shades shown in the picture. $95 shipped to the CONUS. PayPal F&F preferred.

The iron sights on my FWB Sport are really elegant but unfortunately my old eyes just don't do that well with them. So this thread really caught my attention. I thought the Williams WGRS 54 rear sight would be just the ticket keeping things on the minimalist side. After a while that sight showed...

I have to agree with @Swirlfugger that a lube tune is all that’s required to start with. The few new Weihrauchs I’ve purchased seem to shoot a bit rough right out of the box. The HW50 is a wonderful rifle. You made an excellent choice for your friend. Jay

It is a Sheridan Model A Supergrade. I was going to refer you to the website run by UJ Backus which has been my go to for years but it doesn’t seem to be up anymore which is a bit distressing. There are two books which you may be able to find. ”Sheridan Classic American Air Rifles” by UJ Backus...

Thoroughly jealous! That early model is particularly gorgeous. I really like the smooth finish bluing rather the krinkle finish on the later models. The fitted case is an additional bonus. If you ever want to sell it … but I’d recommend against it. From personal experience I think you’d regret...

Congratulations on finding such a fine pistol. Can't help but love the fine fit and finish of those Walthers. They made them from 1952 to 1983 so someone must have liked them! I have a couple now but I still regret selling my first one. It was an early gun, 1956-57, with the smooth finish and a...

I had to look up the price and, yeah, you’re still getting a pretty nice gun for your money. As mentioned above these 10 meter pistols have been around for quite awhile. My personal favorite 10M SSP’s would be an FWB 100, 102, 103 or a Walther LPM-1 all long out of production. Used you’d pay...

Really a fine pistol you're really going to enjoy that one. I have two. The top one Beeman called a Mk II, it has the shorter barrel. The FWB on the bottom came with the sporter grips that you have. I found the pistol a bit harder to cock with those, the grip tended to try to turn in my hand as...

Here's my collection, left column top to bottom: Steyr LP2, IZH 46M, FWB 65 Mk II, FWB 65, FWB 103, right column top to bottom: Beeman P1, Diana Model 6M, Walther LP53, Walther LP3, Walther LP53, Walther LPM1. Jay

Just another data point, when my P1 was a couple months old it shot 11.9 gr Hobby at 464.7 fps ES 8.33 sd 3.46. This was indoors at elevation about 280 feet. As I recall it used to diesel quite often when new. At any rate, maybe shoot a tin of pellets and measure again. Really fun pistols. Jay

I don’t know if this will help, but I just check the AOA website from time to time. Last January (2022) or so I just happened to notice they had .20 HW50’s available. I didn’t waste any time ordering one. I’m really glad I did. For me an HW50 has always been pretty much ideal and they’re just...

I think the easiest way to ask Tom Gaylord your question is to do it on his blog on the Pyramyd website. Just add a comment to the most recent blog entry with your question. It’s kinda nice to do it that way in that he gets to answer the question once for all to see. Jay

That looks like the correct sight. It would be definitive if you measured the width of the dovetails. The older Weihrauch‘s measured 13 mm and that is pretty unique. So if your HW55 measures 13 mm and your sight fits it has to be the right one. There are others on this forum who know far more...
