HW35 limited edition info required

[stevegv8]

One of a limited run of 1000 .22 (5.5 mm) Jubilee 55 Edition (HW 35 KLS ) to celebrate 55 years of production of the HW 35 in 2006. This model had a screw cut barrel with a sound moderator, a blue laminate stock, the action was engraved "Jubilee 55" in gold and came without open sights.
Purchase a spare barrel and bits to bring back to life and enjoy the 35. Mach 1.5

Hi Mach 1.5

Just re reading your reply & got confused, Jubilee & KLS 2 different limited runs?
My cylinder has gold KLS etched on but no reference to Jubilee, so which had the blue stock or did both?
And what were production numbers for each?
So far I'm thinking 1000 Jubilee followed by KLS or have I completely misunderstood the info?

Now looking for a mint .177 barrel that could go with it, where to source such a thing?

Jubilee first then the later KLS . Both in blue laminate

Ok that's how I thought, volumes of each though out of interest?

If I can find a really smart .177 barrel I'll make a gun up after all, had it a while now and have a very badly pitted donor sat doing nothing so ought to sort it out finally.

I think I'm confusing myself?

I have an unused HW35K ‘Jubilee 55’ .22 calibre which I purchased new. Blue laminate stock and Weihrauch moderator look the part. Only thing that lets it down for me is the open screw holes where the rear sight is fitted on standard 35’s. It would have looked much nicer if a blanking plate was fitted. Nice rifle but for a K it is really long with the moderator fitted

I agree Ken, Pity about not having a blanking plate as it was pointless having the rear sight holes showing yet no provisions for fitting a front sight with being screw cut but a couple of allen screws put in place in the rear sight holes like we did in the old days looks a lot better finish and my barrel was shortened slightly and re-screw cut when it was V-Mached as they even pointed out it was a tad long with the silencer, All in all i am happy with the rifle but its not quite what customers expected from a gimmick limited edition.
