HW/Weihrauch Pre-owned springers at AoA

The xs B3 has a decent value as it's a cool sidelever air rifle as well as the fact the pistol grip and folding stock are identical to the Norinco Chinese ak, and the folding parts for anyone building a Chinese ak kit clone are very hard to find. I sold one for $300 to someone who just wanted the butt stock to use in an ak kit. Wish I had kept at least one of the 3 I used to have but the $ lured them away.

As far as collectible rifles go, there were also these two.
The B-5-10 was a multipump with a 10 shot magazine

The QB57 was a takedown rifle.

I didn’t see either one in AOA’s bucket of dubious guns though.

There's still that Diana 48 for $295. Hell of a deal. Cheap scope, no front sight and in .177 though.

There's also that Hatsan 130 for $100. Those are fun guns and the rams are supposed to be rebuildable.

Interesting, I bought a Daisy 853, so there must have been two? If so what was the rating on mine? The add disappeared when I put it in my cart.

I ordered open sights from them and got a picayinny rail adapter.. label was to me, recipe was to someone else..I assume maybe a new person or someone too busy. probably someone else got the sight too..
but they sent me a shipping label and they sent me the sight, so it's all good..
good company I'd recommend any day.

If it were a .22 I'd buy it, but I just don't see the point of a 20+ fpe .177. It's not going to shoot that much flatter than a 12-16 fpe gun but it will be more hold sensitive.

yes I decided the same thing, I'd really like a d54 air king in 22 plus I thought to myself that I have enough trouble with 22 pellets and carpal tunnel.. and I highly doubt it is actually enough power to shoot jsb beasts, since they are longer and easier to handle.. but why add a different caliber when everything i have is 22.. other than eyeing the airforce texan LSS..

SB what calibers do you shoot now? I go from 177 to .25. Be Well Brothers, Bandito.

I shoot BB's, .177, .22, .25 and .30, but mainly .177 and .22. I don't really have a favorite caliber, but if I were forced to choose just one it would be .22.

I don't particularly like high powered .177's. It just seems to me that there's not a lot of benefit to pushing .177 pellets past 950 fps or so. For power or long range shooting I'd just rather go to a .22 or larger. I like my .177's for cheap, quiet shooting at 50 yards or less. I think that's what they excel at.

20 cal, that is typical of AOA packaging. Boxed factory new HWs come inside another padded box with bubble wrap in each end making it quite difficult to harm the end of the gun. Pistols are thoroughly packaged as well. Be Well Brothers, B.

I think what impressed me was that this gun didn't have a factory box, and they cut foam to fit it, then laid that on to a whole piece, and covered it with another whole piece. Then put that into a perfectly fit box. Then double boxed it. 👍
