Hello everyone,
Still doing research for a new air rifle since there is a huge shortage of air guns around here (weihrauchs are expected to be restocked in about a couple of months give or take). I stumbled upon the hw30 while reading on the forum and searching on the net.
It seems like a really nice option since it is lightweight, extremely durable and high quality, accurate and soft shooting!!! It seems to be a perfect compact rifle that can be used either on the bench or offhand!!!
One thing that I have read however (on other forums mostly) which makes me worry a bit is the galling issue that has been reported on some earlier/older threads (on gta mostly) because of the articulated cocking arm.
I have also sent a message to weihrauch uk about it and they told me that there is no such thing as a galling issue with the hw30 (since they hardly ever had any complaints about it).
I was wondering, is the galling issue, something that occurs often in this model? Perhaps the issue has circulated because of a few unlucky people that had problems with theirs?
Just asking because for the most part people have been singing praises for the 30 and when the time comes, I wouldn't want to buy a rifle that would require repairs and/or modification after minor use.
Any input would be welcome!! Thanks in advance!!!
Stay safe and strong everyone!!!
