Give them a call and ask. One of the good things about them is you can actually speak to sales reps. That's something you can't say about many businesses these days.

AoA pre order
- Thread starter Hateful McNasty
- Start date
I think like said above there sold out and with buy den omics ( should of bought then before that sad excuse of nonleadership took office then be told how i never had it soooo good) that they only order if enough interest in perorders deem worthy to make a min order to fill the preorders and throw a few in stock.
There not going to risk there botyom line under this disaster administration.. lol. Cant blame them one bit

Actually I did call and ask before I preordered. Rep I spoke to (Rich?) said he had no idea but if that was the gun I wanted it was best to place the preorder and wait it out. I have plenty of other guns to shoot. Figured why not? If I feel like it’s not going anywhere I’ll cancel.

I talked to them yesterday when I was ordering an HW30S Urban package in .177cal that they just got in this week. They allowed me to pre-order an HW97 Blue Laminate in 22cal for no charge. They said it would be in mid to late June. Does anyone else carry Weihrauch these days besides the few that Pyramyd Air carries?

I think like aoa its monopoly system thete the importers and the rest feed off there hand outs.. like pa and beemans
(Opinion).. i jokingly say other shops are just copy and paste aoa or pa in items. Not like the nice selections and availability of other brands and guns you see overseas for sale that no shops have here.. ever.

I'm pretty sure that PA gets their Weihrauch's directly from the manufacturer; my HW50S includes 'manual' info imprinted on the receiver indicating the manual source is PA (or their 'parent' company, something like Air Venturi/Ohio). My HW30S, sourced from AoA, lists 'manual' info from Germany.

Who knows? It's not like one beating the price of the other or competition or striving to really make that sale.. like i was saying more copy and paste take it or leave it..lol.
Here's one seeing you got hw's from both . My r9 ( pa bought) dont have "usa" stamped on the barrel you see guys with aoa hw's saying there guns have "usa" stamped now does the Pa hw also have "usa" on it like the AoA guns?

I got on a waiting list for the HW75 last summer, and they did show up. In one or two days they were all gone. So, I paid my $25 for a .177 HW98 just minutes ago. At least I stand a good chance of getting one when they come in from Germany. ETA is around three weeks. We shall see. In today's economy, $25 isn't much, and I will take my chances. A Weihrauch is worth it!

Pre-orders seem to be the name of the game anymore....
I have a Colt SAA 7.5 on backorder for a year now and a Winchester 1873 for 3. Some firearms are hard to get a hold of due to low production and high demand, I wonder if it's becoming the trend in Airguns?

I pre ordered my HW97k .20 online from AoA. I have never called to check on my order status. I have a lot of stuff to shoot, I want this rifle to be a surprise when it shows up. Will have Kipp at AoA tune it with a 12 fpe Vortek kit so all I will have to is shoot it when it shows up. Have a CP 3-12x32 scope and Sportsmatch rings already purchased. Patience is a virtue.

My HW98 arrived today. I'm really not sure what to think about the new stock. It's definitely different.

Hmmm. So i guess that new stock is going to be across the board? Better ng like the hw95 standard is no longer ill assume its will soon appear with a new " standard" stock as well.
