Mine's over 20 years old & diesels once or twice if it's been stored
It's still running 5.5, best (none-target) spring pistol ever made bar none!

Hi all.
Finally got my hands on a mint condition 45 SS, and it seems like it's barely had 20 shots through it, judging by the random dieseling, and the perfect condition of it.
It's a .177 cal, and the fps varies between 450 and 470, with occasional 580-630's!! With RWS Superdomes at 8.3 gn, this equates to 3.7 to 4 ft/lb's.
Those really high ones are always accompanied with a large pop, and occur infrequently. I put those down to obvious dieseling of factory lubes in the piston chamber.
Now, although Weihrauch's own manual states that it takes "hundreds" of shots to bed in, has anyone else experienced almost a whole ft/lb under, during bedding in?
I'm still holding judgement until things settle down proper, but still interested in other users opinions and experience with their 45's.
Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi.
Is it a .177, or .22?
Weihrauch HW40 (.177), Weihrauch HW45 (.22), Weihrauch HW45 Silver Star (.177)
At that point in time no one I knew bought .177 for plinking - it's a .22
It's a functionally brilliantly designed pistol, the fact that they made the best air pistol ever look vaguely like a gun rather than a lump of plumbing with a pencil nailed on top just makess it better

last time i cronoed my 45 it was running at 4.5 ft lb, not shot it much lately though as i've been using my lp 300, not to concerned about the power of the 45 as i've only put 2-3 tins through it in the 4 years owned it but congratulations on getting a real pistol
magicniner your right!

you can buy different barrels for them separately .177, .22 (obviously) .20 (i was thinking about trying one) even a .25

Ian,
Far from it,

All those shooters & you're bored?
If you start oiling & polishing at one end the first will be due again when you get to the end
