[RecoilReaper 8]

*First time poster*

Good afternoon Gentlemen!!!

Im looking to add slings to my collection of Weihrauch air rifles, namely the HW95, 97 and 99s. Has anyone got any advice or recommendations please?

Welcome RR

 

On a personal note, i have always had sling swivels fitted to my rifles by my gunsmith for what it costs, as in "drilling the butt" .

If we "cock up" we are stuck with it ! If the gunsmith does this small job, we are not.

Hi RR

you will need some like these or the like

the 95/99 will need a bigger size,as it will attach to the barrel,the 97 however will need a smaller size as it connects to the underlever.

to stop things slipping,i would put a small layer of inner tube ,to stop it sliding.

 

i have used electrical tape,but when the weather gets hot,it tends to move as the adhesive softens,since using the rubber inner tube i have had no problem.

 

fitting to the stock is pretty easy,think there is YT vids to look at,you might want to use a poxy resin ,just to add that extra security.

 

have a look around google RR as you may find cheaper/local to you.

 

hope this helps

As above

 

and as for slings what ever suits you and dose not slip once the rifle is slung on your shoulder

 

and is comfortable

 

dont buy some thing just because it looks good

 

and dont buy cheep swivels ether

 

as they can snap

 

just ask Moxy i think it was moxy any way
