HW/Weihrauch HW95 rebuild

[jps2486]

I was under the impression that a spring compressor was not necessary for the HW95. I know for sure it is on the 97.

Think in terms of short spring I once heard, , maybe a soft suggestion. A . 30 coils of .125 wire x 780 with .300 delrin top hat fits factory guide like a glove.

.22. 15 to 16 ft lbs depending on barrel.. I’ve have been known to tinker.

You could probably do it without a compressor. Re-assembly would be a fight and things might not go together smoothly.

There wasn't much pressure taking it out (35 lbs) for very long (2-3") with the broken/sagging spring.

I'm putting it back together this afternoon. We'll see how much force it takes to get the genie back in the bottle.

According to Vortek, no compressor is required using his kit.
