Summer bash 2024 3rd and 4th August

[Waddy]

The Shipyards not a bad drop to be fair.

Regarding the spring, i'd be very tempted to go for the Titan option rather than the Ox. They're very easy to work with when it comes to shortening/collapsing coils etc. Also, for me personally, i prefer the feel of the shot cycle that they offer. The Ox springs do also break now and again. After buying my HW35 Lochschafte and stripping it, i discovered an Ox spring in three bits inside!!!!!

Yeah, I think I will go with a Titan, I don't like how tight the coils are on the OX & I suspect it's going to be harsh. I put a Titan in my Hatsan & it's got a very pleasant soft cycle, I did need to take quite a few coils off because its .25 . The only difference is that's pushing a big heavy piston in the Hatty & the Originals piston is small & quite light.

My mk1 HW 97 had what I thought was an Ox in it, but putting it next to a real Ox I noticed that it's coils go the other way around, then someone told me that Weihrauch used square section springs at one point, which seems odd if it is the standard spring because it was almost coil bound when cocked.

Good luck with your mums op timing & I hope it all goes very smoothly for her, Mike.


Edit, Titan XS number 3 ordered
