HW/Weihrauch The beginning

[crowski]

Took a trip up north to my buddies today. We worked on his range. Here’s a before pic.

I cut at least a dozen trees down to open things up. What a difference. Unfortunately every tree hung up and had to chop 4-5 ft. off at a time and let it drop.

This is finished, got 68 yds. cleared so far. This is where I get 35 ft. poles for my range to hang targets. I brought 2 back today.

Any way this is the guy that introduced me to Weihrauch’s. And this is the gun that changed my ways. He offered it to me, a no brainer.

It’s a HW80 Black stainless. The stock is wood. And it shoots like a dream.

I’ve got the initial 5 shot card at purchase. Awesome day to say the least. Crow

That 80 looks like one I used to own. If I recall, they came from Champs or some store in Canada. However, it was long ago and I could be mistaken.

Very sexy gun!!!

Also....nice job clearing out that range. Thats a chore!

How far did you have to drive home with that on your roof. What an over hang. We would get booked for anything protruding past 150 mil in front of or behind the vehicle or trailer.

My guess is you never been to Southern California. You have to see what they drag back over the boarder.

No mate I have lived a sheltered life so far, I haven’t been out of Aus. But I’m curious now, what do they drag back over the border?

I have been lusting for a silver HW ever since I first saw one. Good job Crow.

What is that white "lip" on the stump in the foreground of the last pic?

Here's an example. Never seen one pulled over.

Your right. They came from a mom and pop shop, the west end of Canada. There were 8-10 of them made. He got his in October of 2016.

‘Thanks, what a difference. I’m feeling it today. Crow

I drove about 70 miles. I thought as long as a red flags on, your OK. My buddy I talked to last night, told me 4 ft. is the legal overhang. Didn’t know. Stopped to get gas and my pole was inches away from the windshield of the car in front of me so I could get gas. Crow

It’s a heavy duty paint job. It seems durable. I like the looks. Thanks, Crow

It’s a fungus. In the survival world, when you ignite it, it stays lit for hours. Crow

You’re making me feel better. Now that’s a pack job. Crow

If it fits it ships.

Nice range by the way.

Is your 80 full length? The angle makes it look like a K model. I have a K that I bought from Kingfisher 61.

It’s actually electro less nickel plating. It outperforms stainless steel in rust resistance testing.

I like the looks of that. Muzzle end looks Hollywood. Nice jewelry.
Mine is the long barrel.

How do you like the railing, that's the last area to paint. Just finished making a platform.

I hate heights. When this is done, I’m going to shoot my ass off. Crow
