Hey Rick Mckean.....Im not officially a Michigander but spent 4 years in Lansing going to State! Do I get partial credit?
I guess Im not offically a german airgunner yet....just ordered/purchased my first every airgun (well except for a crossman pump when I was 8....still have it). It is a hw97k in .20 cal. CANT WAIT..................ILL MISS MY KIDS AND WIFE ALOT!! Anyway...you all seem like a bunch of super cool guys (and gals) to chat with and looking forward to gleening the knowledge of the "wise ones". CHEERS.....oh yeah GO SPARTANS!!!! AND TIGERS!!! AND LIONS!!!! (just for you Rick).

It's just too bad that Dianas are garbage compared Weihrauchs.

Yeah, I'm kidding. I prefer Weihrauchs, but I own a .177 cal Diana 48 and you'd be hard-pressed to get me to part with that squirrel-hammer.
I like the Diana sidelevers a lot. I also have a .22 cal B30, which I originally bought because I couldn't afford a Diana 48.
Then, I found the 48 for $70.00.
Now, if I could find an FWB300 with a LH stock.

i just got a nice hw55 yesterday at our local gun show from a dude who said its just a bb gun sell cheep so out came the money brought her home and cleanes her up then went outside and the old frauline did her strut hit like a dream the quality,workmanship,and finish is unpeckable compared to present day garbage it is in the 1972-3 according to the serial number makes my quest 1000 take a back seat i guess the barrels were hand fitted as the last 4 digits match the serial number love the sights

I would kindly ask to reconsider the allowance of Austrian entries.

Anyway, we Germans, Austrians and most Swiss and northern Italians do speak the same language, and are equally attuned to making fine shooters.

I do like the Forum Category though.

Just being a German Gate says it all...quality airguns. FWB, Steyr, Anschutz, HW, Diana M&G, Haenel, et al.

Hello to all new to GTA and new to the forum world I'm lost If one starts a post does it end, are it just keeps growing? New Diana 48 on the way next week.

Here's another one. I took on the job of repairing an Umarex Fusion I thought was made by Gamo (the new RONCO?), that's really made by a German company I just found out minutes ago is made in China??? My Winchester 1400cs is made there, as well as my son's Optimus (Crosman), and many others, including the Hammers scopes I like. If we keep sending posts about American, German, etc air rifles to the Asian/Chinese forum, these other forums where the company's are based will get a lot lonelier. And more confusing. I mean, how many folks really research where their new toy actually was built? I'm starting to think that's a lot of nit-picking...

thanks for sharing good informations

[El Greco]

Where would you post a comparison between a German air rifle and one made in another country?

[unionrdr]

Good question!? Case in point; My latest acquisition, a RWS 320M. $34 out the door! About 10 years old. Bought it off a buddy on my Facebook air gun groups. I created 9, Admin 11 and moderate the 12th. Anyway, he sold me the German marketed Chinese copy of the Weihrauch HW85/95. Some say copy of HW80. Copied the Rekord trigger too. I say darn good rifle for sitting Lord knows how long?!


  It also has the old Apex muzzle brake, but the front screw-in piece is missing? Having trouble finding a new one? You guys have any ideas?

  It even has the RWS stampings!


  And here's the serial number. If this means it's build number 137, then it could be first year, which looks so far to be 2007. The year I retired! How about that? And I'm of German decent, Slovak mother, finally get my first German air rifle and it's made in Northern China! Siest' le vei…

  So, I guess that reads, " B(AM) (model)320M (build number)137"?

I've been trying to purchase a breech seal for a FWB  300 S and am having very little luck on the net. Does anyone have any suggestions (I live in North Georgia) Any assistance is appreciated
