And it all snaps shut or engages the anti-bear trap when fired?
The Weihrauch rifles preceded the TX.I have shot my TX about 42,000 times.I have never shot the 97.I do know this. The cocking arm latching system on the 97 is far better and, if you are not careful, the arm on the TX will drop away and fall down without your knowledge.When you touch off the rifle, it is something you will never forget.I hear there is a magnetic latching system available for the TX.That would be good.
OKHere is the story……I am very careful now to secure the arm.
Any links too or info on the magnetic latches.
