R9 vs HW95 vs HW95 Luxus

Cosmetically the R9 looks more like the HW95 Luxus than the HW95. Do they all have the same innards? Are their working parts the same?
The HW95 and HW95 Luxus have their iron sights on the actual barrel so unless the barrel was actually bent it would seem that the iron sights would stay accurate whereas a scope mounted back farther on the gun could end up out of alignment with the barrel. The R9 requires a scope.
Whichever of the 3 I got I would have a scope on it so I guess the comment is moot but I do want to know if the working parts of all 3 variations are exactly the same. Anyone know?

Yes, all three are made by Weihrauch and use the same powerplant.
R9 is scope only. HW95 is scope or open sights.

As you noted, the R9 and Luxus share the same stock, with the longer forend covering the breechblock. I had a gent trade me his Luxus stock, for my slimmer HW95 stock. He liked the lighter weight bias and said it felt more comfortable for him. IF you are shopping used as well as new, you can find R9's out there with the OEM sights, also.
While you wrote the term 'bent', it's actually that some guns have a natural droop. There are droop-adjustable mounts to account for this. You can't accept a wide enough range of adjustment inside the small tube of the scope to do it all. The droop is of no real concern with the OEM sights, as they are mounted ON the barrel.

The deed is done. I ordered the HW95. Now I need to order a good hunting scope.
