    Fatigue in spring washers

    G'day, ​This is for those who are trained in metalurgy or are skilled in metal work. I have two Weihrauch rifles from 1980/'90 that are very accurate when all bolts and screws are tightened to exact specifications. They are an HW 80 [.177] and a Beeman [Theoben] RX [.20]. It's taken me quite...

    Bluing repair

    G'day, Some of my older and well-used rifles are a little patchy in places, probably where the shooter's hands have worn away the factory finish. What after-market products are worth a try? I'm sure that my rifles are not the only ones around showing wear and needing re-finishing. Jim via...

    Tuning stock and action - the effect of other contact

    G'day All, In learning how to tune break-barrel air rifles I have been reading all I can about what can be done, e.g. polishing the bores frequent cleaning, ensuring stock screws and pivot blots are correctly tensioned and so on. While examining my Diana 350 Magnum stock I noticed that the...

    Measuring length of pull

    G'day Folks, I am fairy short [5' 7"] and stocky in build from many years of gymnastics and teaching physical education. I have been having trouble shooting some of my more powerful Weihrauch rifles, especially my two HW 90s in .20 calibre with consistency. Frankly I never feel comfortable...

    Old 10M target rifles: FWB 300S & 300SU

    I am fortunate to own four old 10M rifles - Walther, Weihrauch, Anschuetz 380RT and FWB 600 - but am intrigued by the FWB 300. Locally there is an FWB 300SU and a 300S for sale. I had never heard of the 300SU before. Is anyone able to tell me more about the 300SU? I understand that the 300S...
