HW 77 long ?

[Darchule]

One of the few airguns I ever parted with. Had no interest in .20 cal at the time and already had another tyro in .177View attachment 329340View attachment 329337

Beautiful guns!

update : HW77
ok so i looked and didnt find a HW 77 long ,so i tried looking for the Beeman 77 and cannot find ANY dealers that have Beeman listed . Maybe this is a case where you order one and they ship either 77 label ?

I really like the 77, and here's a photo the compares length of the long and the k. Unless you need to buy a new gun, try to find a earlier model, of the "Mk1" or "Mk2" type with a 25mm piston. The cocking lever retainer device is easier to use on the 1, but more delicate. With the long gun, the device on the 2 can be a bit less user friendly. These really are fine AG, perhaps the best of the Weihrauchs? Does "k" mean carbine or "kurz" as in 9mm short/.380?

Kurz / short

I grew up in the Chicago IL area so i have the "want it now " so go buy it now attitude I knew of 2 Hardware stores open 24/7/364 . This waiting crap does not work so well with me and air guns . but i am learning / retraining .

i'll post a pic of mine when i get home, at work now. yes the 77 a bit longer.

forgot to mention i like the classic weihrauch stocks from earlier models, not too keen on the newer stocks. The Tyrolean is a great stock for the 77 with classic lines.

That's a very pretty Mk2! If you notice how the pistol grip is shiny, "burnished" I think is the word you would use, the gun has been handled quite a bit, but very well cared for? Research serial numbers for the 25mm piston, maybe more desirable for some folks?

That's what I'm talking about, beautiful.

Nothing more than what all you guys have but here are the 77K in .20 with some bling and diopter. 97K .177 with Optisan.
I am a minimalist so I try to keep things simple and unobtrusive.

The K stands for Karabiner.

The long version is easier to cock but the k is not bad. i have several and they are very smooth.

hw77 is long. For me, found the shorter carbines easier to shoot. Probably my technique.
