Is there any difference between the two, other than the bore diameter? Same piston and spring?

I'm not looking for a .177 vs .22 performance comparison. I’m interest in difference between the actual components.

No, the Weirauch HW50 .177 and .22 calibers do not use the same spring and piston. The .177 caliber will typically use a spring with a smaller wire diameter than the .22 caliber, according to Pyramyd AIR. This difference in spring size is necessary because the .177 and .22 pellets have different weights and require different amounts of power to achieve optimal performance.

Thanks. I wasnt sure because there is no difference, for example, between OEM air arms springs for .177 and .22 TX 200/Prosports.
And I didn’t see in the Pyramyd blog article you reference (which I’ve seen before) where BB discussed a difference in springs not between calibers, just in higher performance springs for the same caliber.

I only see the barrel being different between the two calibers,,, on the HW50s

Thanks for the reply. I’ve also looked at the factory parts diagrams and dont see any difference other than the barrel; none of the diagrams show different part numbers for any of the other components.I only see the barrel being different between the two calibers,,, on the HW50s

My .22 HW50 ate a spring on Friday. Replaced it with the HW50 HO spring sold by Vortek. I have the same spring in my .177 HW50. They are both great rifles. Both are shooting right around 13 foot pounds.

Can you tell a difference between the new delrin guide compared to the old "silent steel" guide. All of my PG4's have the steel guide, but I see Tom has gone back to delrin.My .22 HW50 ate a spring on Friday. Replaced it with the HW50 HO spring sold by Vortek. I have the same spring in my .177 HW50. They are both great rifles. Both are shooting right around 13 foot pounds.

The delrin guide seems more quiet than the steel guide. The thunk seems more muffled. Only my second delrin kit.
