Shy Weihrauch EL 54 Barakuda

[aimless]

Hi, as I am new to the forum, I would say "hello" to all.

As my first post, I would like to present one of my "shy" guns: Weihrauch HW 35 (the barrell is from a HW 35) with ether-injection system. The first ones are presented in 1954. More informations you find at www.
She is probably not all original , because of the caliber 4,5 (usually it is 5,5 mm). (The overall condition is good - sights are missing)

Here some pictures:

Hi Jochen

Thanks for those excellent pics of a scarce air rifle - especially here in the UK because it is firearms-rated, so not generally open to possession by people without the relevant certificate.

Here are pics of the original capsules of ether sold to accelerate the pellets shot from the Barakuda (courtesy of Frakor):

Aaaah - the one HW35 that I would love in my collection but I am not prepared to go down the FAC route just for one rifle that I would probably never use. A good start to the year. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...ml?sort=6&o=54

Thank you for the photos and welcome aboard.

I knew about the capsules, but (as far as I know) you can use engine-start-spray.
I still do not understand the meaning of the two drilled holes in the chamber/system. The distances fom the port (red line) are 98 mm (3.86 ")and 195 mm ( 7.68").
Even with these drilled holes you can shoot ......Anyone has an idea?????

Hello Jochen,

The only use of these wholes is to lubricate the innards.AFAIK

I have a HW35 Barakuda? in 4,5mm too.
