HW/Weihrauch HW30 walnut

So where does Gehmann fit into this HW, AOA collaboration? The sling swivels perhaps...
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.

Who said it had anything to do with stock making? So are the sights Gehmann?

I ordered one in.177 should be here by Friday ? this will be my 5th HW30S . This will be my 3rd in .177 and the other 2 are in.22 ! Love them all ! will post pictures here and at Air gun Warriors ! Thanks go to all air gunners who showed their New Special Edition Walnut Version ,and of Coarse to AOA for bringing them here for all of us to enjoy !
 
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.
 
What's the opinion of those of you who have gotten the new HW30N stocks. Are they finished or bare wood. Mine looked to be unfinished, but extremely smooth, Today I put a good application of walnut oil on the stock and it soaked it in like a sponge. Walnut oil will not darken or yellow like linseed or tung oils, but still dry and seal the wood. I will probably continue with a few more applications, at least a couple of days apart to let the previous application dry and cure.
You'll have pictures I hope.
 
Here is pictures of mine. Love the shape and its walnut. But nothing spectacular. I did ask Chris to pick one out with lots of figure. Go figure! Lol

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.

In the end it's walnut and not Beach or synthetic.
