I just saw that the HW 57 is in stock a Krale, both calibers
https://www.krale.shop/us/weihrauch-57-2/
I had contacted them early last summer and they said it might be up to a year if preordered, so found a couple here in the US, tuned, I paid quite a bit more than Krales price but considering the tuning and shipping it probably balance out.
Nice little guns, much lighter than any other under lever I have seen, feels and handles more like my Ruger 77/22 and Winchester 52b sporters in .22LR, and very accurate. Loading is easy with the pop up breech and probably much safer than the ones with the open breech for loading. Good Rekord trigger. I have diopter sights on mine, just too nice to upset the balance and handling with a scope. If you want a fancier front sight you would be out of luck as it is fixed, but very appropriate for a small sporter.

I wonder if it has the new threaded barrel

"... the HW57 now comes with a ½” UNF threaded barrel ready to take a silencer. "

No idea really, but the picture does not appear to be threaded. It looks like mine which is unthreaded.

I'd email Krale about the threaded end if it's of importance to you. The rifle shown has a new style stock so you'd assume it's the latest version. Krale however has a habit of not updating their product pictures.

A couple of months it was not shown at all. With the new style stock shown I would think they have everything about it updated, still does not hurt to ask.
