    N/A gas rams

    Hi beerthief, I have the Weihrauch HW90, which has an adjustable power gas ram. I can also confirm that it is fun to play with the ram pressure to tune the performance and accuracy. Check out "Best fittings" out of England for an adaptor for air pump attachment...

    HW/Weihrauch HW98 Muzzle Brake ??

    Hi SpiralGroove I would like to try making a muzzle break such as this. You seem to suggest the muzzle break can prevent rust, but removing the break after some time to realize the barrel has rusted underneath has been one of my concerns. Have you ever taken one off after a period of...

    Tuning Seeking Spring Guide Guidance

    Thanks Bustachip, for weighing in and sharing your experience. I like the tip about keeping the guide material supported in the chuck and extending into the spindle while drilling the interior. I will have to measure the piston latch rod and see if I can get a reamer to match. Should the...

    Daisy 717 Repair Questions.

    Thanks again for the effort to get that information for me. It gives me a better sense of what size the rings should be. (I understood your comment to mean the washers/ rings should be approximately .016"-.025" thick.) Any thoughts on using Nylon washers instead of the PTFE material you...

    Daisy 717 Repair Questions.

    Thank you, EmptyTin_Tim, for your reply and the link to the parts. I ordered the valve directly from Daisy, and have a good selection of o-rings from which I am hoping to find the correct sizes when time comes. I was trying to avoid ordering the whole reseal kit just to get the foam piece. I...

    Best or recommended 11mm to picatinny adapter

    The last ones I used were the 46mm/ four slot version of the low profile adaptor like that posted by 2L8 above. Like Geezerhood said, it is easy enough to add a stop pin. I did so by threading a grub/set screw through the adaptor and into a brass bushing that fit the diameter of the stop pin...

    Anyone have a good supplier/maker of custom stocks for weirauch HW97 K?

    Congratulations on the new HW97k. If you can find that green laminate stock you wanted, most often seen on the HW77, it should fit the HW97k too. I may have read somewhere that the the height of the comb might be a little lower, to accommodate the iron sights of the HW77, though I am not sure...
