A new piece in the Weihrauch puzzle. No powerhouse, but a smoth little rifle for backyard plinking.
HW 50K
- Thread starter Gunnertrones
- Start date
Was hitting this little water bottle at 60 yards with mine, Sunday. Off hand. Kentucky windage. I measured the distance afterwards. Most all hits were small end. 177

Interesting! Help out an ignorant guy here...does the "K" have a shorter barrel than the standard model? How's the cocking effort?

Karabiner means carbine. Edit: you probably knew.
Not like a big HW30 at all and harder than my R8. It gets harder right before sear engagement. A little bit awkward.
Edit: The K has a shorter barrelbut it has that pickle on there so probably cocks about the same as mine.

Nice rifle, exactly the same as mine, always wonder what the AR logo on the stock means and how is the perfekt trigger for you, i have to replace mine to a record trigger to make it nice.

Agree, the trigger isn’t on Record level, and the cocking not as smooth as the HW97 K for example. But I think the trigger will do, and I want to keep it within the original standards as a collectible piece.
AR….. For certain not “Automatic Rifle”
How about: Always Ready….?
Other suggestions guys?

The K after the model number on Weirauch HW air rifles stands for Kurtz which is German for short, so yes it indicates a shorter rifle (usually the barrel).
Another example is the .380 caliber pistol round, it's a shortened version of the 9mm Luger, the German designation for that round is the 9mm Kurtz (for 9mm Short)

Kurz as in 9mm Kurz
Karabiner as in Mauser 98K or HW50K
Both might be correct?
I have never been one to call a 98K a Karabiner 98K though..........
