Title: Best place to Acquire OEM Weihrauch Seals?
Post by: Denby95 on March 28, 2023, 04:58:11 PM
I need to acquire an OEM breech and Piston seal for a new HW50 Weihrauch. Everyone seems to want 12-15 dollars to ship a few pieces of rubber which seems like a scam.

Is there a recommended outlet where I can pay say 20 bucks for an OEM piston seal, 7 bucks for an OEM breech seal and a reasonable ~5 bucks for shipping?

I looked at the usual suspects; AOA, Pyramid, eBay, maybe theres somewhere I'm missing?

Thanks Frank! Only unfortunate thing is they only have piston seals for HW50s before 1996 according to the part's listing. A very reasonable 6 dollars to ship though.

I'm after OEM seals, but Vortek also charges high shipping prices along with some 'handling fee' which has been enough to turn me off of buying their products.

As a tuner .. not sure why you would want OEM seals ?
The Poly ARH seals are IMO vastly superior.

In 100's of HW tunes NEVER done so using OEM spec seals.

I have some ARH seals and have no complaints but I needed a breech seal too and ARH doesn't sell HW 50 breech seals so I was trying to do a 1 stop shop along with avoiding Vortek due to their shipping costs and that handling fee nonsense.

Edit. I just realized ARH does have breech seals, so I will go that route. Thanks for making me look a 2nd time Mr. Motorhead!
