    HW55 with Tyrolean stock

    Now sold.

    This uncommon beauty is up for sale in the for sale section, if any collectables folk are interested?

    The flagship Weihrauch HW55 seems to be coming up for sale increasingly rarely these days, even on eGun. This is a collectable example because it's one of the earlier post-Rekord trigger ones, dating from the early 1960s, as evidenced by the groove at the rear of the trigger block. It's serial no. is around 160K.

    For shooters the HW55 offers versatility because with a soft spring for target ranges they shoot very sweetly, with only a slight nudge or recoil, but if more poke is required they can be easily uprated to 8 or 9 foot pounds. Back in the day, Venom somehow managed to squeeze 11+ foot pounds out of them, apparently.
