    Its some sort of Willy Wonker-esque competition, and you have the golden ticket!

    Present yourself with the gun at the Weihrauch factory gates 9am Monday, and you will be presented with a limited edition packet of pork scratchings.


    Well done!

    I don't think it's anything to worry over, I have a 99s and a couple of 30s's, one 30 is the lighter, (gold?), colour and the others are either gold or dark grey. All are genuine Hull Cartridge fifles bought from official HC RFD's.

    hth?

    Same with my new .22 99s, (supplied by Hull Cartridge to the dealer early December). Never seen this on an HW springer before...

    p.s. Maybe ours are those new Chinese made Weihrauchs...

    The 99s I bought just before Christmas also had this new white etching.
