I looked at the attachment, and bustachip's original post and see no reference to a Gehmann. What do you mean?

There was an article in hard air magazine . In that a rep from AOA said was a collaboration with AOA, Weihrauch, Gehmann , and I believe Minnelli.

We know what AOA, HW, Minnelli and Gehmann collaborated. Bank, hard ware, stock. What did Gehmann contribute?

I went to AOA site and looked at the description and found this statement,
"The stunning walnut stock of the HW30N SE is the result of a year-long collaboration between Minelli, Weihrauch, Gehmann, and Airguns of Arizona—a fusion of German, Italian, and American craftsmanship."
I can see everything but the refrence to Gehmann, What does Gehmann have to do with stockmaking, as the maker and provider of precision sighting and shooting equipment.

The loss in recent Weihrauch stock design was the inability to use Diopter sights. Maybe Weihrauch finally recognized this and used Gehmann’s input for ample check weld for the use of their products and incorporated this in the design of this new stock.

I have used diopters on recent Weirhauch guns, most notably the 35e with no problem. I have not yet decided if I wish to try one on this 30N as I am strongly thinking about leaving it with the factory leaf rear so I can shoot like I learned years ago, I realize it will be nowhere as accurate with those sights as with a diopter, scope or red dot.

If one is really good with iron sights, the factory sights are technically the most accurate. Both being attached to the barrel.

I'm pretty good with irons, but the extra sight radius helps. about ten extra on the HW30, sixteen on my HW95 and 24 on my HW77 with rear sight extension tube. My 50 year old FWB 124 has always been extremely consistant. With a GOOD breakbarrel the accuracy is there irreguardless ot the sights. I still place my bet with the diopter.

Lots of words here, just like on the sides of these new Weihrauch guns. I want pictures! The few that I have seen show some very nice wood, very pretty guns indeed.

That is similar to mine, better than beech, but nothing great. I do like the stock design better than the standard model. Best of all, it shoots great with the Williams reciever sight.

Really? Looks like cardboard to me. All the good ones are what is known as "bait and switch" selling. They did the same thing with the 95N.
