Strange how there are no US video's of this gun or am I missing something , plenty of UK videos though I'm just curious as I just ordered one .

My bad Its the HW100T....If you are getting the K model, then it's the carbine, not the full length rifle pictured. I have a HWIOOKT in .177, and it's a great rifle. I tuned mine down to 11 fpe, and it's a perfect yard rifle. At that power level, it's virtually silent, and has a great shot count. It doesn't get a lot of US attention because we're so obsessed with high power. It has a wonderful two-stage trigger (a real one), and the build quality is excellent. You will like it.
What sort of issues are you referring to?The full length fac .22 barrels had issues and kinda killed the momentum on them here in the US.
I'm not sure of his reference, but I believe that Weihrauch makes its own barrels. As with most barrel makers, there are sometimes machining issues that result in poorly performing barrels. I have not heard of any current problems, and I wouldn't worry about it.What sort of issues are you referring to?

They had a bad run on their .22 barrels. I believe it was the FAC full length but could be wrong. I picked one up used as I had always wanted a 100.I'm not sure of his reference, but I believe that Weihrauch makes its own barrels.

I guess I was one of the lucky ones. My .22 FAC full length HW100 is a tack driver. It did take me a while trying various pellets before I found ones it really liked. HN Baracuda Match 21.14GR are sweet at 25, 35 and 50 yd ranges, which I typically shoot at.They had a bad run on their .22 barrels. I believe it was the FAC full length but could be wrong.

Mine unfortunately was not good. Everything else about the rifle was awesome, fit finish, wood. But the accuracy was horrible. Like a pepperoni pizza. Pellets would free fall for most of the barrel. I started searching and found lots of others with the same issue.
I also have had a chance to play with the shrouded carbine version. It was also .22 and lights out accurate.
Yeah, that was a bummer. My friend had a bad barrel from that batch and Weihrauch replaced it right away.The full length fac .22 barrels had issues and kinda killed the momentum on them here in the US.
I heard that it was a bad batch of steel from the supplier.I'm not sure of his reference, but I believe that Weihrauch makes its own barrels.
