I didn't like the feel of the compression stroke after about 150 good ones, it all of a sudden felt like it may start galling if I continued.
I thought It might just need a lube since it has never deiseled like my others have?

HW/Weihrauch The new HW95n seems dry?

I set the trigger. Its great, a bit heavy spring pressure, but a slight creep and it fires.
I'm considering the idea of just getting into it or returning it, and discussing my options with the gang here.

My experience with AOA service has been a good one. Sometimes it takes a while to get scheduled.
I've identified a problem and sent them photos and they have shipped the parts under warranty for me to repair. I'm sure they would send repair parts even if I had put a kit in it myself.
If you contact Shane at AOA and tell him you are having problems and want to strip the rifle I bet they will send any repair parts you need. If it's only a grease job then you are set. If you find something galled or broken they save a bunch of shipping and repair time sending you the parts. It's a win/win situation for you both.

It's obviously scuffing or binding in there. What a drag. It makes my teeth hurt.
Mine have all been smooth as glass right up to the latch. I bet you can see the problem when you strip it. There will be some rubbing going on somewhere...

If it is possible to contact AOA and get approval to tear it down that would seem like the best way to start. I found out the hard way that shipping is very expensive these days.

Take it out of the stock, then maybe you can see if it's the spring or cocking shoe or linkages.

AOA won't aprove anyone taking it apart. I don't think they'll even approve taking the stock off. It's worth a call.
FWIW New springers aren't normally dead silent and smooth. I hear two noises in that video. Neither scarry. I'd keep on using it and see if it improves. You have a year warranty as long as you don't disassemble the rifle.

Any way you look at the picture it’s still the same outcome. Strip it or send it back. It sure isn’t gonna fix itself without more damage smoothing a galled area permanent.

Yeah...pull it out of the stock. The anticipation is killin' me.
Nice rifle by the way. I've got one just like it. I'm building a spring compressor today to tear it apart.

My Hatsan started off sounding like that. Now makes a much worse grating sound.
It’s waiting for me to tear into it. Or toss it in the trash.
I’d send it back. I killed my warranty by making a couple modifications.
But mine was 150.00 new.
Different story for the 95n

Sounds like Nanook Rubs It to me
You'll need headphones or a good stereo system to hear it. And some blotter

When the cocking arm pushes on the end of the piston slot it cants and rubs hard on the upper rear of the compression tube. Yours must be dry. Lubricate it before it galls up. Check the piston rod/skirt concentricity while you're in there.
The piston shown was way out before the videos. I had already straightened it some

This rifle will have the new style cocking shoe. That should place the angled cocking load on compression tube slot itself and not the piston itself. The older style shoe did place a side load on the piston causing wear on the roof of the compression tube. It's less common on newer 95 family rifles. Still could be a dry piston skirt.When the cocking arm pushes on the end of the piston slot it cants and rubs hard on the upper rear of the compression tube. Yours must be dry.

I agree that the latch rods should be checked and trued when possible. This is more critical with tighter, stiffer aftermarket guides. Factory untuned rifles have a lot of wiggle room for latch rod run out.
I normally would say open it up and fix it yourself but all but one of the last six or seven new Weihrauch break barrels sent to me had bad comp tubes. Most were not ideal but usable. Two that I couldn't fix. One had a bead of slag in the corner of the brazed end that would perpetually eat seals. The other, the seamed tubing weld left a deep rough trough through full length of the comp tube. That bypassed compression and ate the seal lip as it ran down the trough. Neither of these guns were fixable without expensive machining and oversized seals

That's how galling is. Its not there until it is.
Mr. KWK typed out with his thumb what I was thinking. A piston skirt galling. And it makes sense to centralize the rod. I saw Timbum put one in a drill to center it. I didn't know they were that flexible.
It's making me grind my teeth just thinking about it. I wish I'd never seen that video of you cocking your rifle. It's almost as bad as ISIS beheading a captive.
Who knows what's rubbing in your rifle? Take a screwdriver to it before I loose my mind. You got us all involved in this and it's your responsibility to grease the damn thing up before we have nightmares about our rifles chewing up the cylinder walls.
