The early (rounded stock) Haenel is a well built rifle. I eat that much tripe and black pudding I have to have two Haenels.
They are far better than the Meteor, Milbro and Hawk rifles that the British airgun industry had to offer at that time.

IJ yes they are, i think many people dismiss old eastern block offerings because of the communist thing, but i had a praktika 35m mm camera for many years and was a top bit of kit. the east germans were well above evreyone else in quality in the old eastern block countries, the stuff exported to us was usually there premier quality.
