Old mk1 hw50 valuation

[madcarlos]

Hi just wanted a rough price for a old hw50 , Stock is all good as in no deep scratches or splits and is in original Finnish, The bluing of action is rather reddish all over, No deep corrosion just gun looks it's age, New spring been put in and I think it could benefit from a piston washer, nylon one fitted but has been in there for some time, no open sights, All screws and fixings are in good order and don't look like they have been attacked much in their life, just a rough price please,

£60 to £70 in the condition described, I'd guess?

Ok thanks very much , I did think about £70 myself, Thanks for your reply.

Think Tony isn't far off the mark. Paid £120 for a 22 cal and £150 for a .177 both super condition and with scopes and original open sights. Great rifle at a bargain price. Mach 1.5

Yes as above, I bought it with some crossbows but action has lost it's bluing, Problem with picking up cheap old ones is by the time you put money into them it would work out cheaper to buy a more expensive nice one, Lots seem to break them on the auction site but I don't like seeing complete guns broken for parts,

I would say that it is worth more than that, about £100. There are very few of these old school screw-in back block rifles around, and they are really nice rifles. I paid £160 for an OK one a while back, but that was after looking for months. Someone who wanted a winter fixer-upper to spend some coin on making a special rifle would consider £100 a good investment in the basic material. They don't make them like that any more and yours is scruffy, not damaged. A RichardH reblue, some internal TLC and a home stock finish would make a rifle that would make HW99S owners very jealous. The Perfekt trigger can be swapped out for a Rekord.

It was old Mr Weihrauch's favorite rifle, the right weight, power and accuracy for any kind of shooting a chap might want to do.

Frankly I would say anything under £100 would be too cheap.

Keep it and restore it. Mr HW don't make them like that anymore. I think Mr Weihrauch favourite was the HW50S which is a super little rifle and not to be confused with the modern version they make today. Mach 1.5

Yes and yes, chaps.

I managed to get a very, very tidy one last year for £140 (I seem to remember), courtesy of oldskoolzz (thank you, Nick).

Lovely little thing. A little twangy and I've just not had time to have a play yet.


What's with the Mach 1.4, Paul? A new, even rarer Dave and Ivan special? Or a slip of the finger?

Aye it's nice little gun, Its exactly like my old 35 but smaller,

MACH 1.4. Slip of the finger. Yes Dave and Ivan tuned the HW50 back in the day. Mach 1.5
