Also check where that chisel point of that " scrapes" the receiver tube face for a galling or cutting a grove and where it latched/ locks it in place for a indentation from all the closing shut of the barrel..

HW/Weihrauch New to me ~1975 HW35 Luxus
- Thread starter Sqwirl57
- Start date
The gun looks basically brand new with the stock off. Everything is well lubed and there is hardly and wear marks on the contact surfaces. This gun has been very well taken care of. That being said, holding additional pressure rearward on the latch with my thumb does get rid of some of that wiggle, but not all of it. If I bring the barrel all the way up and then set it at the bottom of the wiggle it is consistent though.

Looks good to me .. 
I think a guy polish that chisel on the striking faces , burnish in some moly, keep it luned and don't let the lube get old or dirty that makes it abrasive ( dirt ,dust collecting in the lube). Just a little tlc on that part makes it last forever ..

Correct, the rotating breech lock on the HW 55 works completely differently from the sliding thumb bolt on the HW 35. Rather more complex, but can be adjusted for tightness.

Mystery solved.
