HW/Weihrauch Hw 98 - Barrel tension

[camd]

Hey

Just picked up my new 98 in 177.
Not fired it yet, but have cocked it a few times noticebly stiffer to cock.
On my other break barrels I set the tension so the barrel will just catch its self and not free fall when cocked.

How do you set your barrel tension, is it different with a 98 due to the heavier barrel?

Appreciate your help,
Cam

I guess I'd adjust the hinge bolt the same as the rest .. the principal remains the same as with hw's .. I'd also if mine is remove the barrel and clean the hinge bolt/ hole and insure it's lubed correctly or whatever to my liking or satisfaction . But that's just me ..

Same. No free fall. Same gun just shroud.
