I have an HW95K but...

[IanDB]

I need another rifle.

It's been a helluva long time since I visited.. nice to see the place still going strong!!

My 95K has been stashed in the loft for 7+ years and I finally went out yesterday, put a couple of hundred pellets through it..

Now I want another rifle.. I really like the 95 but my son gets on well with it, even though it is a little big for him, and swmbo wants to shoot too.

Really like the springer so I think an HW77 is the one, given its rep as the best springer ever made.. but I want .20.. what's the chances of finding a nice one (since I can't find any dealer with one new, I'm guessing they aren't made any more)?

Your dealer should be able to order one in .20.

Takes up to 6 weeks depending on the order cycle.

Maybe less time if he sells grey imports.

Or import one yourself for similar money.
(not sure if exchange rate is any good)

£358 plus postage from Germany. (€389)

You may need to change the spring if you import it yourself, I forgot about that.

Good to know.. thanks chap!!..

Are the new ones the same quality as older ones, do you know?

Internals are slightly different but I think they are.

I have a newish 97k and its an awesome rifle.

My .20 97 is amazing - superbly accurate, but took 6 months to arrive!! Then again my .20 80 took a couple of weeks. Depends on what Hull Cartridge/Weihrauch/whoever have in stock.

The 77 I have came from Holland. They fitted an export spring at no extra cost. Very twangy though so needed a bit of fiddling to get it right. If you do this yourself, get a chrono. Mine went over the limit just with a relube.

My 95K is about 9 years old so fairly new-ish I guess. It's still not had a full tin of pellets through it.

Could really do with a tune up I think.. or maybe just a service.

Shooting yesterday the trigger screw came loose, I didn't notice, and it fired as I clicked the safety off.. but I really like the rifle so I'm definitely in for another Weihrauch springer..

Just messaged the dealer I got the 95 from, see if they can help.

[Murphy]

Why don't you buy a .20 barrel for the 95k and try it before you commit to a full rifle.

You will always sell it on again and maybe not loose any money.

.20 has very limited pellets and IMOP offers nothing that you can't do with a .177 or .22.

I have always been interested in .20 in FAC but thats another story.

Cue abuse from people who love there .20 and say its the ultimate pellet and much better than .177, .22 or .25.....

Wait for it...

[IanDB]

I'm not terribly interested in the 'which calibre is best' debate, it'll rage on forever and imo it's just personal choice ultimately.
It can make for interesting reading though..

I wanted .20 originally, for no other reason than that's what I wanted, but settled for .177 because that's what was in the shop when we went.

Pellet-wise, I use h&n ftt's in the 95 and am happy with them. They come in .20 flavour too so that's cool.

Didn't know I could put a .20 barrel on the 95, that's cool... I'd still need another rifle though, with 3 of us shooting we should have at least 2 to use..

I've had a similar trigger adjustment screw issue with a '95.

Not experienced it going off with the safety, but the trigger blade going 'floppy' after every 20-odd shots.

A small drop of Loctite Studlock on the screw thread seems to stop the screw from unscrewing itself.

[IanDB]

Well.. looks like this will be sooner than expected, swmbo is buying it for me (from the link up there ^^ unless anyone knows of a better deal)..

As mentioned above, you will need to change the spring to bring it up to UK levels.

Forgot about that.. what will it be when it arrives??

5.53 ftlbs or there abouts I would think.. 7.5 joules.
In Germany, air guns producing a muzzle energy up to 7.5 joule (J) (5.53 ft·lbf) can be owned by persons from the age of 18 years and freely acquired provided they bear the "F-in-pentagon" mark" that indicates a muzzle energy not exceeding 7.5 J (5.5 ft·lbf) kinetic energy.
