N/A HW95 .20

Sorry I didn't realize I missed that..
JSB, 13.73 a 75 yrds.
My rifles story is this;
It arrived dry of lube. Nothing like my other HWs, I greased it, and it was only good for another 200 rounds, so I sent it back under warranty. Shane, deburrd it and polished the piston, and it has been as smooth as glass since I got it back.

I know one thing, it was accurate when the wind laid down.
I had a little trouble with the Crazy Eights as they were tangled up in downed branches from the storm. I wound up shooting the little paddles in the Marksman trap.
" not a current photo"
I could shoot pretty quick through four paddles, (quarter size) but It would take a bunch of shots to hit the release.(dime size) @75y.

No. The tube has to be a reasonably concentric cylinder to seal properly. That tube and any others like it are trash. I've seen lots of weld seems the last couple of years in 26mm tube Weihrauchs. They range from the welds being just a hint of discoloration to that one. Some guns will will be fine. Some will just under perform and diesel a bit more. Others will do more of that and go through piston seals quickly.
The tube pictured in my post above is junk IMO. In most cases the average consumer doesn't own a chronograph won't know there's a problem until it's performance drops significantly. Most cases it happens so slowly they don't notice at all. I've talked about this here before and been ignored or discounted.

Bummer about the drop in quality at HW. Fortunately my (somewhat vintage) HW’s have nicely finished tubes and make good power.
Every once in a while I consider getting a new HW. Will probably hold off on that for now.

I want to click a like, but that last statement gives me pause.
If Weihrauch is going to charge what they charge, they shouldn't have defective parts in their guns.
Weihrauch has all the tools necessary to make the sleeves perfect, including cutting and polishing, the welds.
I hope AoA is ok covering all Weihrauchs warranty work. I'm close to the point of having Shane go through one or maybe add a kit to it prior to shipping.

It would likely have to be re-welded and re-cut.
To me there's no excuse for Weihrauchs quality control to allow a part like that to make it into a customers gun.

I shot over the chrono again today, same tin of 11.42gr H&Ns 20 rounds H-748 L-728 AV-739 ES-20 SD-5 13.85ft/lbs. Reasonably consistent, fair power. Smooth cocking and shot cycle, very accurate.
