77 or 80 ?

Okay ......... 

Dont know how to bring it to you guys......

Didnt buy either of them.

I bought a new hw85.

Didnt fire a shot, stripped the rifle directly.

I cut of 6 coils and torched the end and square flattened the end on the 90 degree grinder.

I also degreesed the internals and cleaned the barrel. Adjusted the trigger and put it back together. One thing I noticed : the spring guide actually had a good fit! Except for a hw55..... I never saw an off the mill weihrauch with an acceptable springguide fit.

Maybe they start listening to us afterall?

My wife and I will only use this rifle for offhand 15 meter spinner shooting and 10meter paper punching. Thats why I shortened the full power spring.

 

Thanks for all the reply's. Much appriciated lads!

 

(For those not familiar with the 85: the action is the same as the 95 action. But it has a longer barrel, interchangeable frontpost inserts and a different stock)

Cheers

I was about to suggest a hw35 could never gel with my  97 to be honest always thought it was to heavy tbh.

I had a few 35s. I LOVED the barrel release catch. But after shooting a LOT of plets my thumb got sore. And I couldnt get along with that fat 30mm piston. I also had an lgv, superb barrel release catch. But no wood stock and no interchangeable inserts.
