I got a Weirauch HW30 MK/2 .177 cal. in 1965 for my 7th birthday.
I'm doing a rebuild/restore for the great grandkids to start learning how to shoot.
For the ease of cocking, shorter stock, and the accuracy, it is a good starter.
I came here looking for info for my project.
Just don't shoot "Maggie's Drawers"!
John
The rifle is registered at the official Weihrauch site for background info.)

HW30 is one of the most popular rifles here. The experts are often found at the German gate and they'll probably be able to help with anything HW30 related. (I'm not one of the experts)
