Weihrauch, Why The Tiles ?

[FPoole]

When did HW buy out BSF? I ask because I'm all but certain the 85, or R10 here, came out in 1985-6.

[where's it gone]

After reading this thread with interest, has anyone actually asked Weihrauch as to why the design in relation to their air rifles ?
Weihrauch probably reply would be ' why are the British so hell bent in taking their rifles apart. If our rifles are not good enough for you, feel free to try elsewhere.'

The MK1 HW85 was introduced in August 1986 in the UK with the first batch of HC imports landing in September.

Still have the old Doc Beeman catalog with the pictures. I bought my 80 in around 1984 and was just relying on an old memory.

I don't know what the problem is , put a little pressure on the end block, to relieve the spring tension , and they can be popped out easily using a shortened allen key, as a lever .

But as a trained engineer, Nick, given the choice of tiles or a trigger block retained like the TX, which would you chose ?




All the best Mick

Fair enough, simple is almost always best, Tx. Though the diameter of the trigger block could be a better fit, I have had them where tightening the bolt pulls the face out of square causing consistency problems , and sometimes broken guides . The lgu is better in this respect as the two pins keep it all square.

The Pro Elite approach would work on the TX. Two very precise fitting screws, one in each side of the end plug about half way. That said, I've never seen a TX plug that wasn't a good fit.
