Firstly let me say that a so called fussy barrel as they're described isn't a good barrel. A barrel should be able to shoot a number of pellets accurately but may have a preference that'll give supreme accuracy.

Let's start with the silencer, the HW version, a market leader, as others have said shouldn't bend, they're robustly built. Any damage would be evident on the 1/2 unf thread end by way of indentations. The silencer can be easily checked to see if pellets are clipping, remove the muzzle end with a 7mm Allen key. Inside are three chambers separated by metal washers, easy to take out and put back. The central hole is designed for 177, 20 and .22 so the former will have the greatest clearance.

The barrel; HW have recent history of producing poorly finished examples with rough internal finishes and crowns. Things just don't seem to be the same as when the Weihrauch's we use to know we're made in West Germany. The reason this causes inaccuracy is the rough finishes collect lead deposits. A proper barrel tune can often sort this out.

The internals; inaccuracy as your experiencing could well be caused by power fluctuations a chronograph would show this. The inlet valve could cause this if the ball bearing was sticking in its O ring seat. The piston could also be sticking. Dirt in the regulator washers can also cause power fluctuations. Issues with the dump valve would result in air loss down the barrel, so unless you're experiencing this it can be ruled out. A strip, clean and O ring chance will sort this as long as there's no damage.

The back block has a couple of possible causes, the first is the hammer sticking due to over zealous factory use of poor quality grease. Another possibility but a bit of a long shot is the cocking arm lever which could be slightly bent preventing a full seal with the breach. Again, a strip clean and check everything is geometrically correct will sort this out.

If of course there is a couple of these issues they could add up leading to the inaccuracy.

If you wish your welcome to pm me to discuss.

hi mate you say they are not made in west germany anymore,where did they move to?
