HW/Weihrauch My next HW is finally on it's way!

[Mycapt65]

Two weeks ago I agreed to buy a lightly used and tuned 177 Hw50. I've wanted one for a while to lower the power and put peep sights on. Thanks to USPS only 13 short days later my check finally arrived in the state next door. USPS has been friggin terrible lately. I could have hand delivered the envelope crawling on my belly quicker. In any event, I'm more excited about setting up this rifle than any in recent history. It's perfect timing too. My shop is going up and it's my 60th birthday.

Notice Dodge (my dog) has claimed the shop as his already. Thanks for letting me share my excitement.

Be well all,
Ron

Happy Birthday from Minnesota. That's a serious looking shop, coming along nicely!

That looks like it will be quite a nice shop. What a great birthday gift to yourself. I’m looking forward to following your adventure with the HW50. I also bought one earlier this year for the same purpose. I haven’t played with it much yet but my goal is to tune it down to about 9-10fpe and make a fun plinker and silhouette rifle.

Oh, bye the way… HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Congrats to all three. The HW50, the new shop, and making it to life-level 60.

A few years back I sent a FWB to David Slade for reworking, This was at or near the beginning of the COVID crisis. He does not take credit cards, so when it was finished he sent me a notice and I slipped a check into the mail and it took six weeks for it to get to him. It was no problem for me, as It was over the Christmas holiday season and I asked him to delay shipment until a couple of weeks into the new year to avoid the holiday shipping rush, again no problem he and his wife had contracted covid and were isolating for a period of time and shipping personnel would or could not pick up and deliver to him. I finally got it back after about 3 months, but was informed of what was going on the whole time I was amazed at the time it took a first class piece of mail, just an envelope with a check inside to reach him.

That's funny, this incoming new to me Hw50 was tuned by David a few years ago. I'm looking forward to shooting it and see what it does. I may not have to do anything but put sights on this thing. That'd be a neat change for me.

That's essentially my plan. I have a Tech sight (Peep) left over from my 22 HW50 waiting on it. It will be a slightly bigger and slightly more powerful version of my favorite rifle. My peep sighted HW30.
