    Hw90 barrel shim

    Hi
    I have just taken the barrel of my 1992 hw90 to be screwcut and noticed there was 2 shins in the left side and 1 on the right.Has anyone seen this before on a Weihrauch?
    I wondered if it’s been an accident as there so thin and if stuck together hard to see 2,or the barrels are individually shimed in factory for alining transfer port to breech.
    If anyone could enlighten me it would be greatfully appreciated.Also is there a way to determine if it’s worth replacing these shims since the barrel is off,there doesn’t seem to be no movement in the cocking process that I am aware of mind.
    Thx
    Dave

    Yes I've had a Friday afternoon job 95 Luxus before 2 shims on one side a teaspoon of swarf in the cylinder and a knackered piston seal from new lol.

    Once sorted it was fine tho so I wouldn't worry about the shims bud.

    Yes I’m not worried,just wondered if I’d put it back together with 1 each side
