    Latest HW100 sporters.

    In one of the recent BAR videos Lloyd showed one with the new stock. It is ambidextrous and has more curves to it. Looks nice, in comparison to Weihrauch's usual standard. Probably designed by Italians.

    Have these now generally replaced the older boxy type in the UK market, or are British retailers still in the process of selling these older stocked ones off?

    I note that the HW100ks retains the old style stock on Weihrauch's web page.

    I asked in my local shop, they hadn’t even noticed they were different.
    After they rang HC I was told they are being phased in, HW100S in .177 is only available from HC in the new style, even the .22 still had the old stock but as the old ones are used up the new style will replace them.
    Don’t confuse luck with ability.

    Thanks for the reply.

    What I suspected.

    Worth waiting if you want a 100s IMO.

    Amazing how little some retailers know about the products they sell.

    Gun shops run by enthusiasts are generally better. That's why I like BAR so much.

    The latest ones have a different cheek piece as observed and i think the rake of the grip is more vertical. I guess that they have to shift the old stcok first before starting on the new ones.

    Noooooooooooo, it doesn't look German or utilitarian enough

    You'd never have Lederhosens designed by Pierre Cardin - it's just not right.

    All of the above.
