The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

I am selling my Weihrauch HW57 air rifle because I don't shoot it any more.

Two careful owners: me and the original owner, who fired about 50 pellets and decided it wasn't their thing before selling it to me. I've looked after it well - silicone cloth to wipe down the stock after firing, kept the metalwork lightly oiled. Last chronographed at 11.5ft/lbs a couple of years ago, haven't shot it since.

This is one of the originals with good quality furniture (smooth finish - polyurethane? - over stained beech or something very similar) rather than the chequered modern builds with el cheapo woodwork. There's a few minor dings and scratches on the underside of the stock where I've rested the rifle on hard surfaces but these aren't really visible in everyday use.

It's a good plinking rifle out to about 60yds. Underlever cocking and a pop up breech. There are no sights included, if only because the iron rearsight is "somewhere" in my possessions. I'll happily forward that on free of charge if/when I find it.

Pictures to follow shortly. £200 - RRP for modern production rifles is about £250. Buyer collects from London or Bisley, or pays postage via RFD.

Pictures. Left and right hand side.
Breech area, breech closed. You can see the high quality of the finish and woodwork, despite my crap phone camera focusing ability.

Breech open. I've digitally enhanced the actual breech area as best as I could.
Underside of the buttstock. Thanks to the flash it looks a lot worse than it is, really.
Please note the scope is NOT included for sale. I am advertising the rifle elsewhere as well.

Will be moving this to Bisley in the very near future and possibly selling it to one of the dealers down there, so if you're interested now is a good time to say so!

Price change - £150. Rifle is now at Bisley and fitted with a dioptre aperture rearsight. Test fired on Sunday and it shot well.
