    HW/Weihrauch HW40, Light trigger & Spring tension issues.

    Marflow, I don't know if it has a ball bearing under the rear sight. I can't see under it. After dinner I tested the trigger by shooting 10 pellets. Everything was back to normal.

    HW/Weihrauch HW40, Light trigger & Spring tension issues.

    I tightened it...the wrench set I bought in January was perfect for the awkward angle. One end of the L has a multi-angle shape on each of the 9 keys. The trigger needs the 2mm key. They are made in Sweden for Pedro's NA, a Boston company that sells bicycle tools. I ordered mine from...

    HW/Weihrauch HW40, Light trigger & Spring tension issues.

    Strange, but if it is easy to adjust I can't complain. The gun has had 5000+ shots so far. Thank you. The only maintenance I've done is to very occasionally Patchworm the barrel and add a drop of ND30 to the hinges (if needed), plus check the condition of the breech o-ring. Nearly every session...

    Do You Shoot Airguns With Any Women?

    Shade overhead and good concrete below the feet (or butt)! I'm jealous.

    HW/Weihrauch HW40, Light trigger & Spring tension issues.

    PEP3, I was wondering if that little hole in the trigger had a recessed adjusting screw in it! I will try your idea. Is it a metric Allen? Pretty sure I have a 1mm Allen key around, definitely have 2mm. The trigger mysteriously recovers from its slackness, BTW. During today's shooting session...

    HW/Weihrauch HW40, Light trigger & Spring tension issues.

    My P3 began doing that a couple months ago. I have not tried opening the gun. From the comment above, it sounds like something for me to leave alone as long as other functions are good.

    Do You Shoot Airguns With Any Women?

    Myself, if that counts. Never with other people, let alone in competition. I don't even know any women who shoot airguns. Or men, come to think of it. (This is PB-crazy country.)

    Really nice “thwack” on a Dove last night

    One other visual identifying difference: if you watch both kinds in flight, the beautiful high-contrast pattern on the Mourning Dove's tail is obvious. The tail is also noticeably longer than that of the eurotrash dove. I haze the eurotrash doves with steel cans, either the noise from shooting...

    Quick Afternoon Euro Dove Session at the Dairy

    Good job. I hate those Eurotrash doves.

    Caveat Emptor

    The use of "brokerage fee" makes a handy catchall to mark up deliveries (about which you don't know the amount until it's too late) just because most likely there is no federal prohibition on the practice. Or is there, and who to ask for an offical answer? An example from the nongun realm: A...

    What did you do airgun related today.

    The wind died down after dinner, so I hung an already-holed mini soda can in the pellet trap with the goal of cutting the can in 10 pellets or fewer. The can had been shot 60 times (including the bottom and top), leaving yet another of those maddeningly tiny strips holding the pieces together. I...

    What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

    Steve, could low blood sugar before dinner have contributed to the lack of focus? Either physical or mental factors can distract me. Not to mention a dog barking nearby or other sound out of my control.

    HW/Weihrauch I LOVE my HW30!

    Fewer pellet types to choose from makes a certain decision very easy: Do I want to try another kind? 🤗

    HW/Weihrauch I LOVE my HW30!

    I was wondering where you had zeroed the gun, LOL. Since I plan to use the stock open sights, I'll be shooting at much closer distances anyway.

    HW/Weihrauch I LOVE my HW30!

    The Terminators were surprisingly good in my P3 and Daisy 880. And they must be the cleanest pellets I've ever bought. After loading them, there's barely any lead residue visible on my fingers.

    HW/Weihrauch I LOVE my HW30!

    Nice to see a shooting video, even of just one shot, done with the .20 cal HW30. There are lots of great posts and videos about the HW30 in .177, yet little about the .20. Vested interest: I ordered one. Do you have any special observations or advice about it? I have a good stash of FTT and...

    What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

    I have no photo to show, and my offhand standing shots were nothing to brag about. 33' distance, Blue Streak rifle with peep sight, lots of wind. I knew it would not be a great day but thought of how long since I had shot a bullseye target with this rifle. I mean, I can't remember when! Been...

    Thomas T has passed and won’t be posting any further.

    He could be counted on to encourage both new shooters and longtimers. I, too, enjoyed the What Paper Target thread and hope it will live forever. His posting of so many different paper targets free of charge for all to print was just one of the generous contributions he made to the sport. Thank...

    Centerfire v. Air…

    It's not a case of CF vs AG for my purposes The CF revolver is for defense against attackers up to and including humans. Period. The AGs are for practice and fun. I use every one of them every week. I was driving to a range twice a month to practice with the PB. Not any more. Between not...

    Custom bird feeder/pellet trap:

    Clever concept and solid execution (in both meanings of "execution")! We had a pack rat infestation in the crawl space at a previous home. What a nightmare. Huge piles of scat and some carcasses ruining the scrap lumber and other items the builder/owner had stored in there. No more crawl spaces...
