That’s a shame John

Yes be interested to here your thoughts if you do decide to dig it back out again for another whirl

Just need to find it first!

I bought the pistol from Vanderburgers in Bexhill and then my local RFD, sadly now closed obtained the last stock from Hull Cartridge, so I was lucky to get it.

I used to enjoy visiting Vanderburgers when they were in Tooting and less often when the shop moved to Bexhill as it was a longer journey. Still, it was a great excuse to visit the coast.

Thanks for the reply Bob

That’s a shame it didn’t work out for you, anything specifically you was disappointed with?

As my 45 is a quite tidy golden oldie (late 80’s) I certainly wouldn’t want to make any modifications irreversible.

I think my main thoughts are to try it with a shoulder stock first but finding one is already becoming a headache 😬

It just wasn't very nice to shoot and not very accurate either.
I can shoot an HW45 very well, but with the stock I actually found it less accurate!
I guess there's a lot of recoil and it needs to go somewhere.

That’s just made me even more curious to trying out the stock route now 🤔

Just received a nice confirmation email from Weihrauch today stating my HW45 was delivered in 1988

Therefore I could not bring myself to do anything irreversible regards modifications on this old classic.

[Modski66]

1988? That must be nearly as old as you!

I wish

Try 1974 bud 😬

Yeah big 50 next year hence I’m actively looking for a classic aptly named HW50

I could get myself anything by Heinz by that logic, until my next birthday...

If I went for year of birth I should go for an Original 66.

Are there any "Model 74" airguns out there?

I’m sure I asked about that on a 1974 thread way back for my 40th

I don’t really want to resurrect another holy Batman thread rival

Think I was just wanting that high days and holidays 74 built rifle but couldn’t decide what to get and ended up with a watch I never really worn instead although I did get a HW40

Hence I think if I go HW50 this time then hopefully I’ve got another 5 years to source another old jalopy HW55
