    Welcome to the forum, Hft novice, and an excellent first post.

    The 57 is one of the few Weihrauchs that doesn't grace my collection. Must make amends. Due to the similarities of the internals with the 99 break barrel, and the fact that the pop-up breech will cost some efficiency, I'd certainly go along with the consensus that these will run much happier at more modest power levels, and would be de-tuning. Also, as mentioned, paying attention to the integrity of the seals, finish and lubrication needs of the port will pay dividends.

    The Hw57 could be so much more if Weihrauch revised the pellet loading port to direct barrel feed.

    I had a Wonky donkey tuned 57 and it shot really nicely, it felt like mini 77k.
    I'm pleased Weihrauch listened and added a threaded muzzle to the latest version because mine was very loud. But it's a shame they stopped there and didnt revise the pop up breech, I believe they'd become HW biggest selling springer.
