    HW30 Woes

    Ok Thanks . I completely misunderstood your comment about the compressor. I have made a solid compressor to take out all the springs in my air rifles. I just have a hard time getting the pivot bolt in with the two shims because of the tolerances. I do realize that the pivot bolt and shims go...

    HW30 Woes

    You mentioned “making a simple press” to make the pivot bolt/ shim washer installation easier. I have had problems myself not with my HW 30 but with my HW95. The tolerance are so tight, it can be a nightmare. Could you explain this in a bit more detail? Thanks , Al

    Hw30 / R7 lock up issues and fixes

    What a great detailed informative write- up . I almost gave up on my new HW 30 and then read this. As previously mentioned, my gun was vertically stringing when I first got it. I changed the piston seal , spring and breech seal with no change. It could not be shot with a scope but iron...

    HW/Weihrauch New WH30 problems

    MdFiskI’ll & Tumblingflight , E Mrider, Fishing43 and Windmill01, Thanks for taking the time to respond with very helpful comments. Yes I did try the tissue test as thought it might possibly be a bad breach seal. The seal was new and looked new. It appear to be put in with the flat side down...

    HW30 Woes

    Wow Gary,Great video! Thanks for sharing. That is some fantastic shooting! The 77 is one accurate rifle. Is it stock, no upgrades? What power is your Airmax? I have an Airmax 4-12 x50 on my 97k. I don’t think I could hit something that small and 71 meters though. I also think your W H...

    HW30 Woes

    Hey Gary, Is your HW50 as accurate as the HW77? I have a HW97K basically the same gun as the 77. Was shooting it tonight along with the HW50. The 97 has a Vortek 12ftlb kit installed and is unbelievablely accurate. I also put a full power Vortek spring in the HW50 . The twang was...

    HW30 Woes

    Good for you Windmill01. I also have a 50 and installed a Vortek drop in kit. Mine had bad gaulling issues. Don’t think I’m a fan of these 2 piece cocking leavers. I took the gun apart, watched a few YouTube‘s and managed to fix it. Getting the pivot bolt and two thin washer shims back in...

    HW/Weihrauch New WH30 problems

    Thanks for taking the time to reply R. I made a mistake in my initial explanation . I should’ve said vertical string instead of horizontal string , may have caused some confusion. I did try your idea of putting some Loctite on the pivot bolt end but true to form somehow I managed to strip the...

    HW/Weihrauch New WH30 problems

    Thanks for the comment Myecapt65. I’d did make a mistake , I meant vertical spread , not horizontal. Thank you for pointing that out to me. The pellet that stuck in the barrel were Crosman domed 7.9, the ones you get in the big brown box . During my research on here I read some we’re having...

    HW/Weihrauch New WH30 problems

    Thanks for the comment windmill01. Selling it is probably the best way forward here but how could I honestly sell it to someone unless I pretty well gave it away. I probably just answered my own question. The thing is I must’ve read over 50 maybe 60 reviews about this gun and not one person seem...

    HW/Weihrauch New WH30 problems

    ...AA Pro sport, two Diana 54’s, WH50, , R9 and WH 97k. I did test and shoot a number of quality pellets with somewhat similar results. Something* just doesn’t add up here. It seems to shoit great for a little while and then the whole bottom drops out. I took it apart again and thought...

    HW30 Woes

    I realize that this is an old post. Just wondering if your WH 30 is now living up to it’s reputation as a short distance lazer? Did you finally figure out what the issues were? I recently purchased one for the same reasons you did. I can honestly say that so far, it has been the worst...

    Tune a Beeman R7?

    Hi , i’m thinking of purchasing the same gun but have some hesitation. Does your gun have any gaulling or rubbing issues from the two piece cocking leaver? I recently purchase a new WH 50s and the cocking arm was grinding against the bottom of the receiver and also had extensive...

    Is HW50 .177 Sufficient for Rabbit Hunting?

    Probably get some flack over this but a shot placement between the eye and ear at 35 -40 yards with a HW50s is highly irresponsible advice for a new shooter. As a hunter You are responsible and expected to take every possible caution to execute a quick clean kill. This advice is not it...

    D45 breech seal question

    I’m almost embarrassed to ask this question but I’m going to anyway. I am fortunate to own 2 D54’s , one in .177 and the other in 22. Both of them have been through the hands of Hector Medina so you know how well they shoot. Unfortunately I’ve had some breech seal issues with my .177 which...
