Anyone know who the Weihrauch importer is? I've got a HW60 which really is a brilliant little rifle! It comes with one five round mag and thinking I'd need a lot more ammo readily available, I bought a couple of extra eight round mags!

In 41 years of shooting, this is my first .22 bolt action rifle. No, I've found I don't need a full battle field load when out for a couple of rabbits!

It's only now that I've tried using the eight round mags when punching some paper. They don't take eight!! Five is what I get in! The base plate doesn't come off like the five either, so I can't see if there is some sort of restricter/block. And no, I can't take them back to the shop where I bought them as they're out of business now....

Any pointers?

https://riflemags.co.uk/weihrauch-hw60-magazines/ appear to sell both the 5 and 8 round magazines.

Definitely not a pin or similar that holds that bottom plastic part to the metal body that can be removed for access/maintenance?

Yeah, but I can't imagine that's where they came from.

Yep, blind pin. Can't drive it out from the other side.

Hull Cartridge are the importers.

Hull are the importers but are not very helpful to individual customers. Trade only & boy do they keep a grip of anything Weihrauch coming into the country.
By the time you buy any bits from a retail dealer at least 3 folks have had their mark up.
