See all pics – what is shown is what is being sold. Rifle has been packed and is ready to ship (busy week ahead so I used the weekend to get it ready). I won’t be able to take any additional pictures, but the pics here should provide an accurate depiction of the condition of the HW55.
San Rafael Beeman import. The online Weihrauch database lists it as being manufactured in 1982. Made in West Germany (as stamped on the barrel).
Scott S (Motorhead on this forum) went through this rifle and cleaned and relubed it. This was the first time it had ever been taken apart in its more than 40 year-long existence. Nothing (except the original grease), was replaced. All original internals and externals were reused. We decided to leave the original spring in since it still had life in it. This 55 has its original leather piston washer and breech seal in it since they were both in excellent shape (Scott did oil both). The one cosmetic imperfection is show on the rear sight mounting area - I was going to use cold blue to lightly refinish it, but decided to leave that up to someone who actually knows how to do such work.
It chronied at approx 520 fps using JSB 7.3 after Scott’s work on it. I fired it about 10 times after that, and then put it away. This power makes it perfect for UK bell target or air rifle silhouette (my initial plan for it). My plans changed, and this is now ready for the next owner to enjoy.

Payment via PayPal (Friends & Family) or USPS money order. CONUS buyers only. Buyer’s complete address will be required to get an accurate shipping price from USPS.
In order to save myself time and hassle: if you say you'll buy it, then:
$490 Buyer pays actual shipping. No offers, no trades (due to downsizing). If you’re in or around Sacramento, you’re welcome to pick it up in person.
Action has been separated from stock to create a more compact package for shipping, and it's ready to go.
