HW85
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
I have an older .177 R10 I have shooting at @12ftlb with custom guides which makes it very nice accurate smooth shooter. I have a lot of break barrels in this power range but this is one of my favorites. Mine never shot very much higher than 12 ftlb when I got it or replaced the mainspring with an ARH spring and new seals.

The tuned .22 gets about 16 foot pounds with heavypellets. It likes Beeman Kodiaks, while no longer made, I still have a couple sleeves. Have been told they are just re'branded H&N Barracuda Match. While not a match for a PCP, it's no slouch on small game ou to about 45 yards.

Sorry Dude i dont think that is a Mark 1 HW85 they had no rails in the comp tube
They had a seperate mounting block that slotted into the Cylinder as it was to thin walled to machine into
it also has the screw in back block as per the 80 yours is a later version
Enclosed is a pic of a 1986 Mk1with the scope block shown it was one of the first to be imported to the UK
It is 38 years old
Yours does look very nice though i must say but the Original is getting quite rare

The old 85s were the same as an R10 they were thin walled compression tube with an additional scope rail attached on top. Later models were the same as the current 95 with a longer barrel.

I absolutely love the hw85 ( the old version) I have it in about 5 or 6 variations, and is one of my favorite models from weihrauch.

Have you owned or shot the bsf/hw hybrids? I have a marksman 55,70, 58s. They are all basically hw85's with bsf sights on them and different stocks. Some had the old "perfekt" trigger, later ones have the "rekord" trigger. All of mine are rekord trigger versions, and I absolutely love them! I also have a san Rafael era r10 deluxe in .20....lefty! It is my understanding that the only reason The r9 was created is because the r10 was far more expensive to manufacture. So when I think r9, I think "cheaper made r10"

Honestly, never even heard of them. Only into air guns 5-6 years. I will watch for them now. Appreciate the heads up. Would really like a Beeman san Rafael .20 cal., some day. I have 3 cheaper r10’s, ha ha. Crow

Got the "cheaper R10" myself aka R9 .20...lol. Have to settle on the R10 .20 I guess, since mine is marked Santa Rosa, not San Rafael...lol.

Santa Rosa, Sam Rafael. Same thing only different. Would be just as desirable. Expecting the cheaper R10 to be a great deal. LOL. Crow

I owned a BSF S70 which was the exact same rifle as a HW85mk1 except for the rear sight.
It also had Arabic markings on the tube.

Eu tenho o BSF70 e o HW85 MKll. O bloco de gatilho no BSF70 é completamente diferente de um gatilho perfeito ou Record

San Rafael R 10 20 cal Carbine. I rebuilt this couple years ago with a Maccari spring and Vortek seal. Made Delrin spring guide and top hat. Lubed with Krytox 205.
This is really a nice rifle. It is light and powerful. I'm getting around 800 fps with (Field Target)? ammo.
I'm wrong on San Rafael location, it is Santa Rosa.

Very nice! I have the same stock style on my R10 (HW85). These old R10’s shoot great when rebuilt with correctly fitted guides/springs. Mine has a Maccari kit and his “Accuglide” piston seal. These were made of some sort of seemingly indestructible material with a flat piston head. I can’t imagine a gun that shoots at this velocity being any smoother. I wish I would have stocked up an a few more of these piston seals which are unfortunately no longer made.
As a side note, I’m not sure why HW recycles their model names (ie the old HW 50 is not the same as the new HW 50) which will forever confuse people as to which one is being referred to.
The old HW 85 (R10) had the threaded end cap and bolt on scope rail. The new 85 is the same as the HW 95.

Anyone know if a HW80 barrel can be purchased and installed on my HW95?
And the best place to order one
