    Discontinued Weihrauchs ?

    No way I'm a Weihrauch buff but have they ever discontinued any of their range of air guns ?
    I know the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" but it appears that they continue to make their range year after year with the occasional addition !

    Some UK sellers would sell cheaper grey imports but most just charge the same as genuine imports now!

    The original HW85 was developed into the current 95 but it is substantially different such that I would argue the original 85 was effectively discontinued. The same goes for the original HW50 and I don't think the 55 has a modern version either.

    I would agree with this. I think the HW25 is discontinued as well.

    It's no longer listed on their website.

    They have also stopped making the HW90 gas-ram.

    That's because gas rams are even nastier than spring guns

    I repaired a lot of 25's they had a very flimsy safety, the 30 is a far better and more robust rifle for youngsters.

    Agree 100%.. and the 25's trigger is shocking... enough to put anyone off !
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Six years since this post and still nothing seems to get discontinued by HW when other manufactures have continued to drop models including the unexpected Walther LGV/LGU flop,
    you have to give it to HW

    They managed to discontinue a rifle they never sold. The 0.20/5mm HW30S is sold as the R7 0.2/5mm in the USA but you can't buy one in Europe nor can you get the barrels.
