Does it shoot straight?
Sort of what a rifle is all about but so often overlooked by those who type rather than shoot..

Thanks for the quick reply lads, much appreciated. Put my mind at rest too
I think I did all right. Rifle in very good condition with a tiny bit of surface rust on the barrel but nothing major. Action and stock is unmarked. Nothing special 4x32 scope and a decent rifle slip all for the princely sum of....... wait for it........£60
ps whats the best way to clean the surface rust without damaging the blueing?
Cheers

Hi John
The one being asked about had surfaced in the states and the owner asked for a valuation.
At the time there was one on Mick's Guns for about £850.
The bloke who said it was worth £150 on WOC had no idea what a Barracuda was but still gave his "Expert valuation".
All the best Mick
Yeah it seams to shoot spot on. Getting 1 inch groups at 30ish yards but Im sure its capable of better. Was a bit shaky today due to being plyed with much cider last night

The HW Barakuda, made under cooperation of Weihrauch and the Barakuda Company of Hamburg, is the only variant of the HW35 that I havent got and will never get due to F.A.C. restrictions. From what Ive read - Im not missing much.
Value? With it being FAC, thats a difficult one.

From what I have read on it, save your money Ian didnt the late great Gerald Cardew use an Hawk fitted with a similar device to show how it worked in AGW some time in the 80,s from memorey his results pointed to it not beeing either consistent or for that matter very accurate.
Hence my comment - 'Im not missing much'. I read an article (I will see if I can find it) about these rifles where the tester noted the complete inconsistency between shots and the fact that you rarely got a few hundred shots before the main spring broke. Far more consistency (and accuracy) from a .22 rimmie.
I also think Original ventured down this road of ether injection.
