    Where's the special department where they mix the swarf with the grease and butcher the springs

    That'll get Tony's back up

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I’m probably wrong but I understood that the spring issueswere down to HC, as Weihrauch just fitted the export spring and HC “adjusted”it for UK power levels.
    Don’t confuse luck with ability.

    Most probably but would HW fit the same spring for the German market which has a 6ftp limit if I'm not mistaken.

    If memory serves, yes it is.

    Terry appears to have changed his name to Ahmed Sokar though ...

    Naughty....

    It is he.

    I did that vid several years ago and since then Weihrauch has invested several million more Euros in CNC machinery and at least one full-on production robot, (I dubbed it 'Hans Free', gosh how witty), with more to come.

    The traditional craftsman approach has been retained where it does a better job, but HW is always trying to bring supply closer to demand, so 24-hour production is now the norm.

    It's always fascinating to visit Weihrauch - even if I always fail miserably to sneak into the off-limits areas.
    If you don't know enough to judge - don't judge

    It may have been your self Terry that posted the video the first time I saw it.

    Would be good to see other makers factories but I guess one would look like all the rest other a few special to them processes like the Fx smoothtwist process.

    Good video any way.

    As I posted the spring would be the "export" one that would go to other countries.
