    If you could change one thing .... just one thing.

    Air rifles and pistols come in all shapes, sizes, qualities and price ranges. Some of us like the latest high tech ones others prefer those from a bygone age. Some opt for function, others seek style. Some feel the need to spend £2k plus others are content with a cast off hand-me-down. Thankfully there’s something out there for everyone - and every pocket.

    But.

    If you could ask any of the gun manufacturers to change just one thing on one gun in their range what would it be?

    Would you ask them to; change the stock, produce it in a different calibre, change one of the plastic bits to steel (or steel bits to plastic), make it with open sights, sell it in pink, make it multi-shot, change its name, add gold scrolling to the action, extend the length of the scope rail, change the safety, add a safety, make a pistol more powerful? You get the idea ….. but remember …. just one change on one gun.

    Oh yeah …….. bare in mind gents, everyone has different tastes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison and all that ….…. so be tactful. Your £60 ‘only fit for the dustbin’ jobbie might be another guys pride and joy.

    Weihrauch ought to make a 7/8th scale HW77K for the UK market. Basically a HW77 the size of an HW57.

    To add to the first two Weihrauch posts.

    Please Mr W. Take that horrible safety message off the HW77 action (... only one thing on one gun ...). If it has to stay then at least move it to a place where it's hidden by the stock and can only be seen once you actually remove the stock from the gun.

    This is for the U.K. guys because they're all tired of the long stroke. Air Arms, please offer the TX200 with the old MarkI stroke specs again. You know exactly how to do it as you've built them in the past.

    Weihrauch, scrap the stupid silencer on the 95K and go back to the 16" barrel with muzzle brake.

    (And sort out your shite build quality).

    Kalibrgun to move the position of the cocking lever on the cricket to where it should be (between the two cylinder/barrel supports, like the wildcat & impact).
    One shot, one kill. Not luck, just skill.

    ALL expensive pre-charged rifles (over £550) should have adjustable butt pad / cheek piece as standard.
    Never go off half cocked....

    All lies matter

    AA,. I would like a new cocking lever set up on the PS. (And a MK2 PE.)

    Diana,. I would like a new front sight unit on the 460.

    HW, Back to the old type Break barrels without the star breech and warning.

    Walther,. Two things a MK2 trigger and a cocking linkage that was not stock dependent.

    Better stocks on Weihrauch springers.

    Better stocks on Diana springers.

    By better, I mean the kind of thing you get on an AA (but with normal chequering) or that you find on Webley Longbows and Tomahawks.

    I'd also like Weihrauch to change the safety catch on the Rekord trigger to something resettable, ideally located in the back of the end block, not on the side. And for Dianas to have a better scope rail that readily accepts an integral arrestor in the mount.
