  3. Hw97k mk1 swap

    View Advert

    Hey gents,

    iv got a weihrauch hw97k mk1 for swaps or sale. It’s got the the 25mm piston, recently had new piston seal, delrin top hat and spring guild. It’s currently at Custom Airgun repairs& servicing getting a regrease and once over with my other 2 bus that are there. The gun stands me around £250 the wood is in good condition but the bluing lets the gun down as you can imagine of a gun of its age. Ideally it wants rebluing and become a collectors item.

    im looking for a hw80k or hw95k as I prefer a break barrel while having a wonder about checking feeders.

    or hunting equipment of the same value. Night vision maybe.

    thanks lewis

  4. Lighter pellets generally give higher reading over the cronographs using springers for some reason I can't remember but that's not to say a heavier pellet such as a jsb won't perform better just because it's heavier and not putting out 0.5 of a flbs less. It's all just experimenting and testing mate

    It depends on the type of rifle you are using, PCP great, springers, unless you are shooting from the prone with a real good bipod all the time, it's a waste of time as your recoil bounces the rifle and your point of aim will be different in other positions. I'm sure other people have experienced similar through trial and testing, Davyt and simon and other HFT shooters I think would agree.

    ive a bipod on a 25.06 mate with quite of recoil...... ive never had any bother and find a harris swivel bipod a great help at long range shots.

     

    what is "the prone" by the way??

    Spring air rifles recoil different to full bore rifles. If you think about it the spring pushed the piston which makes the pressure to push the pellet down the barrel at 600fps. So the recoil has started before the pellet even leaves the barrel at the relitivly slow speed compared to the full bore rifle where the only recoil is of the bullet leaving the barrel at 2000fps? Also the only direction the full bore rifle recoils is backwards whereas the air rifle goes back when the piston is pushed forward then forwards when it stops.

  6. Don't take this the wrong way but if your only shooting indoor targets so the chances are you shoot off a bipod or rest how light do you need it to be? I have an ultra and it's a cracking light weight rifle but I wouldn't want to do a full target session refilling it every 40 shots

  7. You best ask the protuner... The top hat was designed to add weight to the piston and hold the spring in place. (I think) if made from delrin it's only going to weigh a few grams and won't make a diffenerce that way but will stop the spring from jumping round in the piston reducing the twang (his service doesn't offer this product) but the piston liner is just a stainless steel pop can cut into a sheet by chopping the end off then rolling up a sliding into the piston with spring in. Don't have it to tight as the spring will expand slightly when compressed. When just keep taking strips of the end until you have you desired thickness of the sleeve then I rounded of the corners aswel.

    That's what I did and worked for me but didn't need it once I had the top hat fitted.

     

    By what your saying it sounds like you don't have any preload on your spring so fitting the top hat will compress it abit more aswel

    Not 100% sure but possibly a sportsman or trophy it's quality glass and made in the Philippines not the Chinese rubbish. It's got the 30-30 ret but didn't bother me as not going to be shooting far past 40m so didn't need loads of milldots.

    I'd take 40 as that's what I give for it cheap scope but quality. I just don't need it and it's gathering dust really

    Ok mate are you available tomorrow at any point
    One more thing you don't have any spare mounts by any chance do you :)

    Yeah I should be about tomorrow evening or Wednesday evening would be better. I work til 4:30. If you want it for 40 il chuck in some mounts just drop me a pm and il let you know when I'm free

  10. How much preload does it have? I fitted one straight into my 97k with the weihrauch spring guide and piston sleeve made from abit of pop can a worked fine and smooth at 11.5. Fitted a new custom spring guide and top hat and it's dropped the power to 10flbs with no piston sleeve and no twang but more preload.

     

    I would try a fitting a piston sleeve or top hat to try and remove the spring fore end moving around And make sure the spring guide is a nice snug fit inside the spring but enough clearance to rotate freely. As simple as they are they can be very annoying
