HW/Weihrauch Show your carbine springers!

Jump to latest Follow Reply
My SLR .177 carbine with Hyedua stock and my Venom HW77 .22 Verminter with period correct Beamon scope. Kingfisher2 pointed out that the Venom isn't a carbine - he is correct but I posted it anyway - my bad!

Hey John, that stock looks very familiar. Some pretty blonde walnut right there. 👍

Just one of many gorgeous springers attributed to your craftsmanship. Here's an old picture of my R1k...keeping in theme....along with your R7 and my old HW30 (now the property of Duckfish) All your handiwork.

Thank you John, you have an awesome collection!
Boy, those pics conjure up some great memories of having you up to join me for some shooting fun.
Hope you have a wonderful Xmas holiday my friend!

YES! The P1 pistol + classic Beeman wood stock is a BLAST to shoot. But note that it came packaged with a taller clamp-on front sight post (seen in levgen721's pic above); the stock changes the recoil movement so much that you cannot the use open rear sight without it.

Back off the trigger spring set screw on the C1 until the creep goes away. You might be able to go a little further. Then they’re not too bad. Just make sure it won’t bump fire. It’s a single stage.

Agreed, I actually like the triggers on these guns! Once broken in they have a good feel for the letoff. Not a light 2-stage target-grade action like an HW, but a heavier single-stage action which - for me at least - is more appropriate when huffin' and puffin' around in the woods.

I understand why they are often criticized, mind you, but in our instant/electronic age, we can forget that a simple mechanical device like a spring-piston airgun improves with wear-in and maintenance. I'm old enuff to remember when cars came with special driving cautions for the first couple thousand miles...😜.

Agree with what your saying. I don't mind heavy single stage triggers either.

IDK...The Spitfire and C1 have the same basic trigger parts. Because it was so bad, I honed the contact flats on the Spitfire trigger and backed the adjustment screw all the way out. The improvement was not worth the effort. The pull is lighter, but still very long, creepy, and unpredictable. Same for the C1 without the hone and polish.
My first car was a 67 Camaro with no power steering or power brakes. I razz the kids how they would probably freak out driving a car like that these days. LOL

I have the same basic triggers in 2 Stingrays and a Vulcan. Heavy triggers? Absolutely not. Creepy? Nope. Crisp. Would be interesting to put a pull guage on them but I don't have one. I keep thinking about getting one.
When I got my .25 Stingray the trigger was adjusted way too light. I didn't trust it not to go off it was so light. It would let go while taking up first of the fake 2 stage. I only had to increase the spring tension on that one.
I don't trim my HW triggers down to ounces either. It's not necessary.

Wouldn't the younger generation mess their pants if they took a car with drum front brakes down a steep windy mountain road?
