That is a shocker, although hopefully you can unscrew the star thing and turn it around & square it up.
One HW30 I came across had the cocking slot cut at a slight angle to the centre-line of the cylinder. I cleaned up the edges and it didn't affect function, but for Heaven's sake it is supposed to be a quality brand and I got rid of it.

I think they are splined, so not going to turn...Originally Posted by Hsing-ee
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day
In that case I'm looking at an over-barrel foresight then. Any recommendations?

So, uncrew, heat, tap with hammer then re-align and reglue ... massive arsepain.
I guess it is one of the risks of buying from Germany that this kind of problem is a big problem. If the rifles been stripped then it cant be taken back anyway. New barrel is about £50, flog the old one to someone who uses a scope or wants to chop it (a chopped HW30 would make a great barn gun).

I don't think I'll do that - there is no guarantee that the new barrel will not be exactly the same.
It wasn't really evident using the standard rearsight, only when I put the peep on, so even mounting it up in a shop wouldn't have helped.

Do you understand what Splined means mate ? Whats going on with Weirauch
used to be the best quality springers you could buy

The splines run parallel to the barrel, so can't the barrel be removed from the block and rotated by one or more spline-notches & re-inserted? Or have I got fog on the Spline?Do you understand what Splined means mate ? Whats going on with Weirauch

A quick fix would be to fit the muzzle end from an Air Arms or CZ S200 target rifle, you can get these for about £25. Its an interchangeable hood mounted on dovetails on something that looks like a muczzle break. Both rifles have 15mm barrel diameters so it should fit.

Thanks mate, that looks like the best option for now. I suspect that if I try getting the barrel out of the block I'll end up making a hash of it, especially given the ambiguity about how it may be fixed.
Of course that does completely invalidate the silencer I bought for it () but hopefully if I sell that on here I can offset the cost of the new sight.
Incidentally is the AA rear diopter any good on springers?

In the HW95 breech block I swapped to an Anschutz barrel, Jon, the HW barrel was splined, but not the breech block, so if the HW30 is the same, and unless there's a cross pin in the block, the barrel could be refitted at any angle.
