    Hw35

    A 1965 HW35. So you would need to take it apart and have a look at the piston as it might be an O ring conversion but depends at what point the previous owner had it tuned. I haven't a record of serial numbers and guns tuned but full custom rifles serial numbers will give an indication of the period tuned

    It had the original leather piston seal with it and the tp was at 4mm. I sleeved it down to 2.8mm and put a modern piston it it (still got the original) . What I was later told was a giveaway was that the trigger block had a steel guide threaded into it but I had already removed it and replaced it with a delrin one.

    Another HW35 modification that Venom regularly did was to replace the steel roller on the cocking linkage with one made from Nylon66, Gary --- The Nylon roller stops the Weihrauch click when cocking.

    I wouldn't know Mick as it was changed for a new factory standard one as it had worn just before I bought it.
    Thank you for your help.
