There's a reason I literally strip and gut these guns as soon as I get them. I buy HWs for thier barrel and rekord trigger, and expect to fix everything else. Once they're tuned up they're beautiful shooters that last a lifetime.

Well, I'd have to say that's a pretty big exaggeration .I buy a Weihrauch for everything but the spring and guide.I don't buy Diana's because of their ungainly stocks, plastic parts and lack of finish quality. You buy a Diana as a usable tool not a luxury purchase like an iPhone.Weihrauch lines are more like an iPhone' s in they radiate beauty/usability.

I still prefer HW, I've just accepted that they need need work(and a little extra cash) from out the factory to be the sweet shooters they really are. Cracked and scored piston seals, rattling shot cycles, stock screws backing out constantly, galling on some models and reciever with edges that can skin a buck are things that do cheese me off when I pay 4-600 for a pellet gun. Thing is, us HW fans have just gotten used to those facts...but imagine your not an airgun fan just someone who wants to get a pellet gun that lasts a lifetime, and it shows up like the 6 that I got out of the box had i kept shooting them the way they came to me, im not sure id ever get the right experience. Good example, my buddy shot my hw30 the other day. After he was ready to go buy one because of how nice it shot...I said well, it took a bit of work to get it like that..after I told him how much $ I was ultimately into it, he wasn't real interested.
Kirk,The Diana Hogsback stocks in walnut put any Weihrauch stocks to shame. If I could replace every POS HW stock with a Diana Hogsback I would. They look better, they shoulder better, they feel better when just carrying. Love your HW's, but not because of their wood. -Y
I remember well Kirk, they're the best brakes I've had, and I didn't have to fix a thing on them I guess I just would like to see HW listen and change certain things that I feel could be addressed/redesigned. Maybe I'm just a snob for tuned guns now IDK
No joke, both the 95l I sold and my R9 both had piston seals like that straight from the factory. Theres a reason I literally strip and gut these guns as soon as I get them.

I also don't expect everyone to agree with me, as I'm usually the one rattling cages in my walks of life always appreciate your input.
