Mystery Rifle (welll for a little bit!)

[Duggan]

If its ok with you guys, i will post up a few more rifles on this thread. I bought this as a 'mystery' rifle it was one of about 5 from the same era. Brand spanking new in the box and I honestly didnt know what it was, until I got it out of the boot about 2 hours ago. I know what it is now and i'm well chuffed. To me it looks like a bog standard cardboard box and I would have no idea what it was? Fancy a guess? Just a little Christmas fun I hope

My guess is either a relum tornado or maybe a Beesa meteor

I recognise the box as usual packing for a Steam Punk rifle... ? The other mystery is why you use photobucket ?

Not I think a Relum box. Reckon it's German.....

If its a Webley - keep the box.

[johnbaz]

It wouldn't be one of these by chance?

The rifle box is inside a box very similar to the one in Karl's pic, I don't seem to have taken a pic of that box though!

Your getting hot there mate.....

Not often you get to see a 36 year old Weihrauch brand new in the box, as it was delivered with tags, leaflets, test shot target and a packet of aperture sights tied to the trigger guard. I think another quality rifle to the collection.
Thank you for joining in a little fun.

One of the best little rifles around, especially if fitted with the Rekord trigger instead of Perfekt. We have a Venom tuned one at the club that gingernut and I keep passing between us. After first using it a few years ago, I could never understand why people buy the heavy HW80 when the 50 puts out the same "legal" power and is super accurate. The only problem we had was the self firing Perfekt trigger.

Very nice. but if you're going to shoot it be aware 50s of this vintage have the most slippery stock finish known to man. I had to hand stipple the pistol grip & forend on mine , as if it got a bit damp it was like a greased pig to hold onto! is it .22 or .177?
