Nathan1991 25 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Guy guys, I know it sounds really unrealistic but there are people out there that have old bad condition hw's that could do with the money I bought a hw35 the other week and although it needed work I couldn't complain for 35 quid this is a pic of it now after extensive work and it still isn't finished, it's getting sent away next week to get the barrel shortened, re crowned and unf threaded so it will accept a weihrauch silencer Quote Link to post

It's getting sent off next week to have the barrel shortened by 6inches, re crowned and threaded to accept a silencer I am also in the process of making a hamster for it I will keep you guys posted on progress. Thanks again and ATB Nathan Quote Link to post

Your making me tempted to put a wanted add up for something .177 flavor and in need of restoration but really should finish 97 1st hhhmmmmm Oryt mate, I have worked relentlessly on it for a couple of weeks here is what I have done up until now; 1- full strip down and total degrease 2- deburred the entire thing (using needle files) 3- piston/cylinder polishing 4- buttoned the Piston with delrin Bands 5- converted the piston seal from leather to ptfe and a full re-grease (bisley moly) 6- removed all of the rust, pitting and bluing 7- reblued the metal work (hot) 8- straightened the barrel 9- repaired the stock (this took ages) 10- re-stained the stock (dark oak) 11- had it French polished And that it until now like I say though I have more work that needs doing including; 1- barrel shortened by 6", re- crowning and 1/2" unf threaded so it will accept a silencer 2- hardware needs replacing (trigger guard, safety) 3- adjustable recoil pad fitting Itl be worth it in the end though ATB Nathan Quote Link to post
