Thanks very much for your help lads. i'm also guessing the trigger has been painted but i wont know until my Dad collects the rifle for me tomorrow evening. as for the stock. from what you are all saying, the standard model didnt come with checkered pistol grip so i'm happy with that. i posted the questions because i had a suspicion it may have been a hw85 action in a different Weihrauch stock.
Jonnyone has 2 of these rifles, richwilk has one and DCL_Dave said its one of the best rifles you've had.
so i'm glad i've committed to buying one as its all positive info so far.
My next dilemma will be should i keep it original or treat it to a reblue and tune
once i've sold a couple of my other rifles off.
Thanks again for all your help.
was just about to submit this then saw your post Mally.
Thanks for the info. i'm now fairly confident that it is a standard HW85K that hasnt been ba5tardized. Unfortunately i wont get to see it in the flesh til i get home in May. i absolutely love my HW80k so if the HW85K is as great a rifle as that one then its defo off for a tune and reblue.
thanks fellas.
