    Airgun Book find

    Come across 2 books for sale never really been after them but heard of them being mentioned on here so I picked them up cheap, printed 1995
    The Airgun From The Trigger To The Muzzle and The Airgun From The Trigger To Target signed by the authors.
    Both in good condition should be worth a look although contents is way past my level of understanding
    Weihrauch HW97 .177, Weihrauch HW80 .22, Weihrauch HW77 .22

    Correct bighit it is indeed,
    Looking at their research they are clever people
    I don't know if they them selves tuned guns or just concentrated on the the physics behind it all??

    I also believe that Gerald did undertake some tuning work and also did repairs for a West Midlands shop?

    If you haven't bought the books already, Para, and you can afford, get them bought. All part of our rich heritage. Things are explained very well in them and, having met you, I KNOW you'll be fine with the content. Some of the workings have now been superseded by Jim Tyler and Dr Mike, but the Cardew works possibly provided some of the building blocks for more recent experimentation and understanding.

    Gerald did some general work on peoples rifles for them as said in his workshop. He also used to write for the magazines and carry out a lot of basic research on anything airgunning. I worked with him on pellet designs and testing from the late eighties and also gave a small amount of help and advice in the trigger to target book. I still have a lot of the results from our work on pellet designs which were fired using his projector and a very small number of the pellets.
