    Weirauch HW45 genuine shoulder stock & .25 Steve Harper brass barrel

    My son has got a genuine old hw45 stock and .25 brass barrel which he is thinking of selling so just after a valuation of them both

    The wood itself is in mint condition and is only a very small mark on the metal bracket that goes under the the grip once fitted

    The barrel is a .25 Steve Harper barrel which looks to have a little bit filed where the barrel bracket goes preasuming it wasn’t machined perfect so this has just been done to allow better fitment and it doesn’t effect it in any way and is only a little bit but thought best to mention it

    Just after a rough valuation of them both if anyone knows, do have some pictures but it won’t let me upload them for some reason

    Shoulder stocks are £43 new, so 2/3 is about £30 for a vgc used price. Barrels in .177 or .22 are £26 new, but the .25 wasn't available as a standard item so it may be worth a premium if somene wants a .25 pistol

    I think the stock used to come with a special replacement front sight, needed because the different recoil characteristics of the stocked pistol move the MPOI to the point where the sights cannot (with the standard front sight) be adjusted to hit point of aim at normal distances.

    They are horrid imitations of the old walnut Weihrauch ones though, unless you have a link for a proper one?

    To be fair, you needed to be built like a Gibbon to be comfortable with the genuine Weihrauch one.
