    Only the pistol memory flex has been used with two of the patch holders. The rest, including the brushes is unused. In fact the kit has hardly been used. I tended to use patchworm products, although their pull throughs didn't last long. The kit has never been taken into the field and looks new. Every calibre catered for from 177 to 12 bore. Comes with Otis accessory kit. Otis patches can be purchased for it, but ordinary patches will work just as well. Bought new from Midway UK and taken to Peru where it was used exclusively on handguns. I have no further use for it, having returning from

    I've had all the guns you mention. Currently have an LGU. It's better out of the box than most HWs but is let down by its trigger. Don't get me wrong. The trigger is more than usable, but doesn't have the feel of the Rekord unit. The stock is superior to the Weihrauchs though, and it's a smooth shooter straight from the box. Mine is a keeper. In fact I was so impressed with it, I also bought an LGV. I'm very happy with that too. I still love Weihrauchs though, and will be getting another HW77k in the future as well as a 95 or 99. Another TX is also on my list. There's a lo

    Always get the biggest you can afford. You may not have many rifles now, but the urge to buy others will eventually overcome you. Airguns and airgun scopes tend to be more bulky than powder burners, so don't pay too much attention to the manufacturers claims about how many guns a cabinet will hold. In my experience a 6-7 gun cabinet will comfortably hold four scoped airguns (at a pinch five). You don't want your guns and scopes rubbing up against each other. Always buy an extra deep cabinet or you'll struggle to get scoped air rifles into it. For a combination of size, build qualit

    Thanks very much Davy.

    Thanks Mawders. Will do as you say.

    I've watched and enjoyed all the videos, and seen all kinds of guns pass through the hands of Si and Davy. I know Si isn't posting for the present, but Davy is still around. So I wonder if you don't mind me asking, Davy? Of all the springers you have both had, which were the keepers? Maybe you're also collectors, and have kept all of them.

    Quite a while ago, Si Pittaway and Davy reviewed this rifle and seemed to be impressed. Since then it has rarely been mentioned on this forum, and has received mixed reviews on other forums. I just wondered, with the passing of time, what the consensus of opinion is on the Walther. The base model Challenger is only about thirty quid more than a HW95, and, according to most people needs no fettling or spring kit to perform well.

    Can be harsh in 177. Expect a lot of muzzle flip. Be prepared to have it tuned.

    There has been a mixed reception to the Walther LGV over the last year. However, I have been following reports and reviews in the UK, the USA etc. and the balance is tipping heavily to the plus side. The metal may not be nicely finished and the stocks may be unimpressive, but it appears to be not particularly hold sensitive ,extremely accurate straight out of the box, and with a mild firing cycle. I have revised my previously negative attitude to the gun and intend to try one the first chance I get. The base model Challenger is only thirty quid or so more than the Weihrauch HW9

    Thanks for posting the videos Darryl. I learned a lot from them, especially about the polishing and relubing. One thing I would have liked to see that wasn't included was your degreasing of the trigger mechanism using Blue Wonder. How does that stuff work? Since it comes in a tube and not a spray form I wondered if you had to add something to it to act as an agent. Do you just flush it through the trigger cassette or dismantle the mechanism and degrease the parts separately? I thought about spraying a degreaser in at one end and letting it drain out. Then a squirt of BreakFree CLP or s

    I imagine airgunners like the glass but aren't keen on the reticle.

    I expect the Slavia is a better built gun than a Stoeger. According to some reviewers, it's a very underrated rifle with lots of potential. The Czechs know how to make guns.

    Should be easy to disprove what this bloke is alleging by opening up an SFS tuned rifle and proving that it is not full of grease. Has anyone ever done this? I've never read a bad review of Tony's work. Well, apart from this bloke's, and another fella on the BBS who made the same claim several years ago. I'll be ordering a gun from SFS soon.
  14. emilianoksa
    Yes, I suppose I am. Should have worn gloves. The insides of both guns were a sloppy mess. Still love Weihrauchs though, and would buy another. Would get a TX as well though, so that I could enjoy some shooting during the time it took me to get the HW sorted out.

    Buying a new Weihauch these days is hit and miss when it comes to quality. You will almost certainly have to spend more money on it. Don't know why. Makes you wonder how well paid their employees are, since some of them are not doing a very good job. Buy second hand, or get one direct from a tuner which has been fettled, or just buy a TX and be done with it. Even a new TX may need attention, but at least it's easy to open up, and will probably need no more than a degrease and relube to get it performing acceptably. The last Weihrauchs I disassembled were a 98, which was

    When you buy a new gun straight from the factory, you don't expect it to behave like a tuned gun. But what you have experienced is completely unacceptable in my opinion, and Weihrauch should be ashamed of themselves. I'm a Weihrauch lover myself, but, if I were buying a new underlever, I'd go for a TX.

    Many thanks for taking the trouble to give me a detailed reply, Pianoman.
  18. emilianoksa
    Really looking forward to seeing that video.
  19. emilianoksa
    Thanks again. Pianoman, what do you make of those who say the HW80 is great on FAC but slow and sluggish at 12ftlbs?
  20. emilianoksa
    Thanks for the reply, Scot.

    I'm looking to buy a Weihrauch break barrel, and would appreciate advice from forum members. I have a HW98 in 177 and like it very much. It's great from the sitting position but I'm finding the balance more difficult for any other kind of shots (front heavy) as I get older. I'm retired now. I also have a HW77k in 177 which I will never part with. Similar problem though. Not front heavy - just heavy. I intend to buy a HW30s, also in 177, for back garden plinking. I've read wonderful reports about these little guns. So what I'm looking for to bridge the gap between light weight a

    Has Tony Hall experienced this? How do SFS deal with the loctited end cap, when doing their Stage 2 tune? I have been seriously considering buying a new HW77K from them and having it tuned immediately. Now I'm not so sure.
  23. emilianoksa
    If Weihrauch don't address this problem, I can see a lot more TX200s being sold than HW97s in the future. What on earth possessed them to do something so stupid?
  24. emilianoksa
    This has been discussed on other forums, and I wondered if anyone on here had experienced it. Apparently Weihrauch have taken to using a lot of Loctite on their 97,77and trigger blocks - so much so that they will not unscrew without heat. In one case it took so much heat to loosen the block, that the spring guide had melted by the time it was removed. The gun was purchased from Germany, so I'm wondering if the Hull Cartridge imports are any different.
  25. emilianoksa
    I'm surprised you're having problems. It was only yesterday I watched your very good video of the gun, and you were cocking it with one finger. My straight from the factory model was a bit rough and had the chopped off spring. I'm sure Tony Wall will sort it for you.
