6 yard MPL Postal Competition Rules.

[zooma]

RobTheDog,

You have chosen wisely with the HW30S.

Weihrauch, for some reason, pack the innards of their springers with enough grease to service a fleet of lorries

To put some cherries on the cake, get a rear aperture sight, and /or, send the trigger to Mr. Luke Jolly - he will re-work it to give a safe, crisp 6 oz pull

The below are my HW 'springers' that I use in the MPL - top to bottom - HW30S, HW99S (in the 'camo' stock ), and HW95 SuperMatch)

Have fun & a good Sunday

Best regards

Russ

I am guessing the second space down in your picture is where the camouflaged HW99S is hidden?

The lumo-orange camouflage scheme on the HW99S works amazingly well

Lumo pink was used on the on the SAS long range desert group vehicles - lets hope it worked as well as yours does

Time to get your fleet in action again Russ !

I have just taken my own advice and shot my HW30S in the July round of MPL Rifle.

I have paid my entry fee tonight so we have another late entry join this season MPL - me!

Which one of your superb HW fleet are you going to shoot Russ?

Bob,

Due to my current 'feeble-ness', either my HW30S or my HW99S

I will try my HW95 SuperMatch (4.6 kg), and my TX200 (5.8 kg !!!), but I fear they are currently a bit on the heavy side over a course of shots.

I might also try my 1974 Diana 35 again

Have fun

Best regards

You have a really good choice of springers to use in the MPL.

Your HW95 SuperMatch is a really unusual rifle here in the UK. I have an HW95 in .177 and I would like to use it in the MPL as well - but the UK version does not have any dovetail grooves in the end of the barrel so that makes it a "bit tricky" to fit a front sight onto.

If I can find anyone who can accurately cut some dovetails in the end of the barrel I will drop the power and make it more "target friendly". Failing that, I will try to find a source where I can buy a new SuperMatch barrel......and failing that I will sell it and find out where I can buy a new SuperMatch.

The HW95 is a lovely looking rifle and the adjustable cheekpiece would be very nice to have on a target springer, but it is a very powerful rifle that would need some taming down to get the best out of it as a paper-puncher !

Has anyone ever tried to fit an HW30S into an HW95 stock? - now that could be very interesting!!

Bob,

Isn't the 85 the same rifle but a different stock ? if so the 85 comes with fixed sights so you could use the barrel from one.

I am not an expert on HW variants - but if this is true then it should make finding a replacement barrel less of a problem if I cannot get dovetails machined into my '95 barrel.

Bob,

I take it the barrel on your HW98 does not have grooves (you should be able to see without removing the shroud) ?

If it does, all you would then need to do is machine part of the shroud away to expose the dove-tails.

If no dove-tails, you can get an HW95 barrel with the dove-tails, and then get the shroud machined.

A 3d printed sight block could be made to slip over the shroud ?

My HW95 Super Match, came from Waffen Schneider in Germany - looks like they only have the 'Match' version (minus barrel shroud) :
