HW/Weihrauch .20 cal. Weihrauch Specials

[RUSS9020]

maybe ill find a actual theoben at Hickory next month ?

Let me know if you see a Beeman Crow Magnum in .20 cal. I use to own one 20 years ago.

For those HARD TO PUSH IN pellets, get yourself a pellet seating tool. It will look like a small steel ball bearing on the end of a steel rod about 3 inches long. You press it against the back of the pellet to seat it evenly flush.

no , i meant how do do you do it ? i can only post one at a time ? your post would take me 8 postings not one .

When I finish with a post, I sign and hit return, you don’t need to but I do. Then go down to next post and hit reply.
‘Make sure if you go back to fix an earlier post, that you go back to the end before you hit the next reply. Crow

Odd. No issues for me posting multiple pics.. but then tom said he could not post his targets/files .. of course i do edit file size like a picture from mb to kb for ease of doing so . Then my several pictures equal one un edited camera pic..

Crow..

Guns look great

Thanks Hateful.

Very nice selection of 20’s, Crow. I’ve heard that only one can go with you. Which is it? And forget the pellets. They’re gold up there. But then, the 20’s are almost gold here to.

The 97 is killer, but the only one with a Vortek spring. The 90 is really interesting, but haven’t had time to play with the bars. Same thing in the .25 cal. I truly believe the .20 cal. outperforms in all the guns. I have no explanation. This winter going to put springs and seals in hopefully all of them. Can’t wait.
I believe you brought to my attention the rifles at AOA. Have to say thanks. Crow

Holly Cow! The HW90 is 3rd from the right, you say? It's taller than all the rest, 45 inches. That's what I'm about to received in shipment here soon, ordered from Airguns of Arizona and also in .20 cal. That thing's a monster but it is what I wanted and the gas ram too. Can't wait. They are mounting a scope and will have it zeroed in for my at 20 yards. I told them that was perfect.

Love you collection, by the way. Cheers!

Thanks. If you don’t have the gauge, have them turn it down to 18 bar. It’s a tank.
Love this gun and I’m sure you will to. Crow

Thanks for the hot tip. Great idea. Crow

Thanks..

Ya them loose or feelin too tight i been culling them. .. especially the loose that yend to fly up and fast .. the tight ones to me tend to just miss. Also tight serm to stress the piston .. like them crosman pairanhas in my .177 are tight and you can yell the difference in the gun by the shot dound and the thud of the piston when shot . In .22 thete fitting great..

Seems nced would clain premature spring fatigue using heavy or tight pellets. Anyway i try to cull the looser or tight ones out ..

Anyway good luck and good shooting.

Why not get one of these when one comes available? I believe this is the first pellet pusher ever marketed. It came with your 1906 or early 1907 Lincoln Jeffries, or BSA up to about sn 15,000. One of the first improvements was to open up the loading tap so it was no longer necessary. The spanner end is for tightening the locknut on the trigger adjusting screw. Keep your eye out on eBay UK. You should be able to get one for under $400 US.
Thousands produced but rare as rocking horse turds.

I made a set of seat tools from 1/4 and 5/16 brass punches from a cheap set. I just chucked it up in a drill and sanded it round. They're still 3 1/2" long but I could chop it down if I wanted to pocket it.

Good luck, nearly impossible to find in ANY caliber.
I had a .20 caliber R1 way back when, it was a great rifle. Very accurate with Beeman Kodiaks. Traded it towards a .177 RX.

Hello Crow, and I've also talked with Beertheif about this. I ordered my HW97K and an HW30, this evening. The wife said go for it.

A little rich for my blood. I’d probably lose it first time I used it. Thanks for sharing. Crow

I shot the 90 for a short tonite. Did not disappoint.

Only 5 shots 31 yds. And I’m not a great shot. I‘m still out of paper. Did the same to spinners 42 yds. away.
This 90 has amazed me me more than any other gun. Crow

She is saving the marrage, for sure. Congratulations on your purchase. Crow.

Gave 30y a try . Been forever , but gave me a chance to knock the rust off the steel backing plate. Now ot sprinkling rain ..

R9,cphp.177, gamo scope@6x.

Sadly as usual cant hit center . At least no wild flyer.

Looks like maybe another 2 clicks worth ? Oh well rain now

Oops editor crashed


Ya crow these hw guns are hard to disapoint and you got a nice collection of them. Im envious

Another seat tool is the rubber dental gum massager. It's sort of a rubber "Hershey's Kiss" on an aluminum handle. I cut the very tip off to give me the seating depth required. The large base prevents metal contact with the breech face (not that that is an issue).

Wood dowel in a pencil sharpener does the same thing for less. Quarter inch dowel IIRC. Just stump the tip. I typically don't seat pellets.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

I kinda figure if im having to mash a pellet in more then a slight push to seat with my thumb its too tight .. i also know somthings up if i seat a pellet with my thumb i can feel the seating . Like if it seats easy and smooth or fells like its scraping / not so smooth. A tool ya dont know nuttin just a pellets loaded..

Idk ... just another everyone got there thing, thing ..

 

[crowski]

This is how tight it is.

From here it’s a major push. No other guns are like this one.
I have to say to hold the barrel and the stock, push on pellet and take picture was tricky. Crow

Great idea, that should work. Thanks Crow
Ironically the JSB’s are a looser fit, still tight, but not as accurate as the H&N’s.

Even easier than the brass. Thanks Crow
