Although I have no first hand experience of this set-up on these newer 80s, I can't see HW introducing a weak spot in this area to the "workhorse" 80 whose reputation has been built on the solidity of construction.

loved my 80
Have seen the welds break on old 80s but haven't heard of any issues from the new set up. Mach 1.5
plus replacing that part doesn't look very expensive, and as others have said, I doubt it breaks every 5 minutes...
certainly easier than re-welding front stock lugs.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
If it was a problem all the airgun related forums would have threads on it.
Lots of people love to rubbish Wiehrauchs, no idea why they just do, but they'd be all over it like a nasty rash.
Do not sell this man any air guns no matter what he says
The thing I would like to know is what part stops the barrel when it clunks shut, on the old type it was clear and it looked solid and precision so there was no drop or rise, surly it can't be the hollow lug
Lock up is still the same as the old ones..only the lugs have changed. Mach 1.5
I've got an 80 from 2012..with the new set up. Not a problem at all. No weak spot in my opinion. Mach 1.5

Well, I'll give the newest variant HW80SLK a solid thumbs up
.22 which gives it a head start with regards to shot cycle and yes, it is heavy, but next a TX/Prosport it is far from being unwieldy
Put around 400 shots through it now, and it is returning a 7fps spread over 20 shots at 11ft/lb with Air Arms Diabolo Field 16gr, shot cycle is quick, but no bucking, kicking, jumping out of your hands
Market research pending I think it is the most expensive break barrel you can still buy new, it's the only air rifle I've ever brought new, and I don't feel like I've been rooked
Need to swap the silencer for something shorter and slimmer, and can't fault the stock, but my weakness for customstocks cs700 thumbhole may get the better of me......

Excellent stuff. Keep enjoying.
