HW/Weihrauch Show your hw 35...

[Ievgen721]

what is your opinion compare older to newer ?

My old 1966 HW35 sport (base), which I sold, was in excellent cosmetic and working condition, but the barrel was playing in the horizontal plane. The washers placed didn't help. So I sold it, added about $100 and bought a new HW35e.

Please tell me a little more about the rear sight on the .177. Is that a Williams with an added attachment? Thanks.

Yes, it's a Williams with a Gehmann adjustable iris.

Thanks for the photos. I am so far an HW 35 virgin. Haven't owned or shot one. YET! Be Well Brothers , Bandito.

Here's mine. A finger grooved stock .177 and the new style in .22, barrel was chopped and a Wolf moderator installed. Pictures aren't great.View attachment 540962View attachment 540963

Chopped and choked?

Especi



Especially the printed warning etc.

Can’t say I’m a big fan of the laser etching on the new guns. They are probably better tolerances or better finished. But I just can’t get on board with the stock styling. Would it kill them to at least come out with a “classic series” stocks from the 80’s - early 90’s? Then I would probably plunk down some cash for a new one. Otherwise….naaahhh

Stan just shot this morning. My Barakudas both need breach seals badly. They need some TLC. But they shoot like a dream. Easily hitting a small can at 30 yds. Both have a heavy click when first breaking the barrel. Would like to rebuild but have to get the parts.
The 35 .177 hasn’t been opened, yet, it’s harsh, but accurate. The .22 is getting a TbT spring now, so we’ll see.

I really enjoyed shooting the Cudas. Crow

I hear ya. Back in the day you had your choice of premium walnut stocks for the 35, so why not add another option?

I'd love to have a new one, which no doubt have significant mechanical improvements. I think I'm in the process of learning my three oldsters just don't shoot as hard as advertised , but they sure are hard to beat for looks and charm.

Older has class I don’t doubt newer has better manufacturing tolerances. I have both I prefer my older ones myself.

Chopped and choked?

The barrel was cut from it's original length, 18.5 " I believe, to 12.5" and recrowned. The Wolf moderator was installed, there is no choke at the muzzle any longer. This gun is a tackdriver with FTT 5.53's, no choke needed.

Nice to know. This is what kept me from doing my own. Hmmm... lots of clattering going on in the back room
