Weihrauch Springers Question

[gouldian]

Has anyone ever come across a situation where the barrel came loose on a Weihrauch springer. I know the barrel can't be taken out of the breech block without a lot of effort because there is a pin holding it in place. Just wondering though if the effort of cocking the rifle thousand of times could lead to a bit of play between the barrel and the breech. Thanks

[Rickenbacker]

Nope.

[Trumpetier]

And another nope from me

[tinbum]

Not without a certain amount of user fiddling.

And yet another nope.

Kindest regards

Had a few HW's over the years, some new, many used and have never come across a loose barrel yet

[bighit]

Oh no. Another dodgy Hw rifle for Mr Diana to gloat over

Id quite like to remove the barrel from the breech of my 35 - perhaps I'll lend it to you!

I did hear, many years ago, of one of our club members having a lose barrel in a HW77 of all things. But that was rare and the only occasions Ive hear of (but didn't actually see) in several 'months' airgunning.

Never on a weihrauch, but I used to have a bsa meteor when I was a kid that you could shoot round corners with.

Has the new star nut come loose?!

Yes! My HW 80 barrel moved slightly in the breech block. I could see oil seeping out of the joint between barrel and block at the muzzle side. I cured it by spraying degreaser in the joint then loctite 270. So far so good. The gun had been re-blued which could of had something to do with it.

Exactly. Not my gun but can see a line of grease change position at the joint between the barrel and the breech block Will try green loctite. Thanks
