    Beeman I couldn't resist 🤪(Update it's finally here)

    I think you might mean Trenier. https://www.trenierairguns.com/ I've bought well over a 100 tins of JSB and H&Ns in three calibers from them over the years. Excellent shipping and service at fair pricing. When practical I prefer buying from a smaller business like Trenier (Jeff Reinert owner)...

    HW/Weihrauch HW 50 s Finally Broken In

    So true on all accounts. Having been a Mercedes parts guy for two years and BMW tech for eleven years, I can tell you from lots of interaction with Germans that they are very stubborn to change their beloved designs and concepts. They are slow to acknowledge and address flaws in them to...

    HW/Weihrauch HW 50 s Finally Broken In

    A Hw50 22 shot cycle is usually a bit softer than a 177 Hw50. It is in most piston guns but it is a little more noticeable in the 50 for some reason. I've owned two Hw50s one in 177 and another in 22. I've also tuned a few others of each caliber. Probably by luck the last 22 Hw50 I did came out...

    HW/Weihrauch Is This the HW30s’ Biggest Weakness?

    One clack of the arm popping against the comp tube is normal as @MDriskill explained. The second pop sound is unusual since you havent gotten the detent over the lock bar yet. Is that rifle is cocked or is there spring pressure when you're bringing the barrel back? If there's spring pressure...

    HW/Weihrauch HW 50 s Finally Broken In

    I'm glad you're happy with the gun. Shoot it longer and see if the buzz comes back. "Lube tunes" are almost always a temporary fix. If it doesn't more likly the spring took a canted set. Sort of like a snake. This is usually what's responsible for Weihrauchs smoothing out as shot counts...

    N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY?

    No problem Mike. You know I love you. The R1s disparity is somewhat extreme but not far from common losses when increasing weight and or using tighter fitting pellets. Here's a more typical example. My Hw30s shoot 7.33 at 715 fps (8.32 fpe), JSB 8.44 at 645fps (7.79 fpe) and the very slightly...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    That's gorgeous. And in my favorite Hw30 caliber.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    The wind finally laid down this morning. I shot my 77 trying to figure out what the hell is going on with the accuracy. It only shoots FTTs acceptably. Half inch at 25 yards. Most other pellets are over 2". With the zero shifting inches between types to boot. Wondering if it was me or the wind...

    N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY?

    While theoretically that's true, a heavy pellet's BC seldom makes up for the lower muzzle energy in the distances springers are shot. My R1 was 17 fpe with a 8.64 FTT and 12.5 FPE with a 10.65 Barracuda. The distance required for the two to even hit the same energy I'm sure would be well past...

    N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY?

    This is true. There's several things to consider. Piston guns have many variables. Typically past a certain pressure point as pellets require more pressure to break free (start pressure) and move forward energy decreases. In part because the piston is rebounded harder on an air cushion. An...

    N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY?

    This is absolutely incorrect for piston guns and already been explained why earlier in the thread.

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 in .22

    For plinking and short range pesting try RWS Hobbies if you can find them. All though it was unusual my 22 Hw50 shot it's best 5 shot 25 yard group with them. About half inch edge to edge. And they hit things like a frying pan! Popping English Sparrows and starlings is a blast with them. Pretty...

    N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY?

    You need to read the replies 2 and 6 again. It was explained perfectly.

    HW/Weihrauch Is This the HW30s’ Biggest Weakness?

    I checked my six sets of these. They vary in the miniscule amount of play at the rotating notch and windage screw. One was a little wobbly where it was peen onto the spring plate. None of them had the fixed notch like @Silver Ace has shown. Maybe mine aren't old enough. All of my guns are early...
