Another weihrauch

Bought a as new weihrauch from across the pond :)
From Krale in the netherlands

[@italodimichele2422]

Good afternoon Mike, wow that was a cool open box! I have been building this sweet HW80K in a Laminate special edition stock as my buddy & tuner Ace owns one himself but in my mind only for a few days. Because the one you show cased is the 370mm barrel I like it more. Made my afternoon thanks Mike !! Cheers !!

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Hi. I sold the rifle and later bought a .20 HW 97K only because of the air gun addiction, having one model but seeing another just drives me crazy. I had so many rifles at one time I wound upselling them as they just sat there. Hw80 I never had need for because of the powerful re barreled reworked hatsan magnums I do for people I even have my own custom parts for them

[@inblindmodeler8786]

Great video Mike ! Excellent information ! Thanks Frank

[@backspin6698]

Congrats. Can not go wrong with a Weihrauch. And say hi to your wife. She seems to be a keeper. You guys have more snow than us in Sweden, at least south part of it. It's time for sun and warmth now.

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Thank you and enjoy the nice weather I usually ignore the winter till it's gone, when we get a big snow storm Ill say is that all you got I eat that for breakfast LOL / it is March so now I say its on the down hill now wont be long before its over Take care

Still laughing after seeing Scooter doing his stuff. The most gorgeous balck cat I have seen in a while. I have a tabby myself, he just caught a little mouse in the kitchen this morning and brought it to our bedroom door. Bless him. He wouldn't kill it, just played with it, so we rescued the poor little thing and took him outside in the garden. He should count his blessings, I say :-). Regarding the wife, mine is supportive too, despite not being into airguns. We are amongst the fortunate ones. But let me tell you, I think God never sleeps and He knows what's going down on His beautiful Earth. So he gives to each what he deserves ;-). I should buy her flowers more often, you are correct. I seldom do... Lovely gun mate, good choice. I got the 97K blackline stainless myself from DB Shietsportin Holland(I know, terrible name, but almost as good as Krale, they had it at the same price and came out less in delivery, so I went with them). I don't like the black syntetic stock afterall(still kicking myself for not getting the blue laminate, but it wasn't available in the stainless look). So I am having it tuned then selling it on. The 77 looks a bit better, the stock too. I would buy that one, if I had to choose now. The 97 is great too in wood, but the 77 edges it in looks and has iron sights too. Lol, I have to watch the end again, your cat just had me falling in love with it...

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Are you in the U S. Yes both me & the wife are super bonded with scooter he is strictly indoor cat we put him in a cage when we take him out on to the deck he's scared of every noise especially other peoples lawn mowers / he is the same he left the mouse go but it ran into a skinny funnel & got caught so we tossed him outside. the Ideal with my videos is two fold.I wanted to get my name out there for working the air rifles so when I retire I can have something to keep my interest & bring in some money so I thought I be my self and help those with the hatsan magnum guns figuring there would be those who will ask me to do there guns. I also now offer re barreling the hatsan magnums and that info I kept to myself. I have spent a lot of money & t i m e lol did I say money ? and long hours working and figuring & ruining things to find things out and I am not giving everything away / I just now retired a week ago, so it looks like maybe all my hard work & effort will work out. If you need something let me know Thanks MikeE

@@MrSteppingstone888 Not in the US me, sadly. I live in London, UK. I say sadly, because not many people can count themselves lucky enough to be able to own/shoot any kind of weapon they want. The globalists tried to take it away from you, but I have high hopes now that the man with the trump up his sleeve in in charge From what I have seen so far, he is a goodun and he will empty the swamp and clean up your beautiful, still free(just) country. He needs the backing of the good people of America like yourself, to get another term and clean the US up for good. Our tabby is the same, indoor and only comes out the door at night, when more peace and quiet. You did well re KZbin, I can already see a bunch of people loving you and your work. Ignore the trolls and don't feed them comments. they will eventually starve and die away, leaving you alone. I have your email address from another post. I will reach out to you there, so we don't clutter up this public box. Much respect from us in the UK .

[@waterboxer87]

Hi Mike. I also love springers through and through! I grew up reading every Air Rifle Headquarters catalog and wishing I could buy the Wischos, Weihrauchs, and FWBs that filled the pages of the catalog. Now, happily, I own the air rifles of my youth. Just like you, my wife happily lets me enjoy my air rifle addiction. She doesn't complain no matter how many times FedEx or UPS deliver a long box from AoA, PA, or AGD. Enjoy the Weihrauch 77K and keep your videos coming. Thank for the tip on Krale's. I'm looking at the Walther LGV Pro.

[@MrSteppingstone888]

That's really nice to here, a lot of guys have to deal with wives who would not be happy no matter , and thank you for the encouragement.

[@johngoddard8157]

Hi Mike. I have HW95 and love it. Must admit the under barrel lever is my next investment. Also Have HW60J & HW66P in 17 HMR &17 HH respectively. Weihrauch is so underrated yet so well made, & the accuracy never disappoints!

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Hi John. Weihrauchs are pretty high up on the quality air gun chart they pretty much have stayed with a well balance power wise rifle even when they reach the stronger models/ I sold that 77K rifle before even shooting it and the new owners said it was very accurate/ I don't care for air arms springers far as tx 200 &TX HC because of the thickness of the models I do have a air arms pro elite that I definitely like. I bought a HW 97K in .20 still has the hang tag on it / something about the 97K I like better than the 77K I guess looks wise

[@johngoddard8157]

@@MrSteppingstone888 Hay mike thanks for reply. I hadn't owned a spring-er for years & was using a .22LR to get rid of pesky birds,but didn't like the idea of flyers or ricochets happening. After doing plenty of reading I decided on the HW95 in .177. The .22LR became redundant instantly as I use other calibers, as I mentioned for bigger distances. The accuracy of the 95 for the range I am using it for is impressive .I have read that the fixed barrel models produce even tighter groups so may look at one in the future. Agree about the good wife Too! Where do you live ? That amount of snow is unheard of in NZ.

[@MrSteppingstone888]

@@johngoddard8157 Iam in Billings Montana for Big power I work the hatsan magnums I have custom parts now for them and rebuild the gas rams and re barrel them if some one wants. they are not refined by any means but I can take them and hone them in sort of speak only issues is you need a Hawke air o max scope or the stronger magnums will cause the reticles to shift

[@michaelleeman8372]

Hey There! Glad to see Your still up and running! I must say,I have been eyeballing that 77k more and more. Very curious as to how it "behaves" in stock form...looking forward to an update. Thanks Mike! ...Mike

[@YZFMANIAC08]

Thank you for supporting our Dutch economy!

[@AlbertoJorgeSoares]

"Dutch" ...? Are you from Holland? Weihrauch is a German brand.

[@YZFMANIAC08]

Alberto Jorge Soares he bought his gun at Krale Schietsport, which is a Dutch riflesmit/retailer

[@IamPeacefulWarrior]

Lol mate. Nowadays people have to shop where the price is better. I don't think it matters much who's economy we are supporting in the end, as long as it's in line with taking care of our family's finances first. That's what matters most.

[@kostasbalbagadis1507]

😂😜

[@peltel2222]

Just got a Beeman RX myself. Same as the HW90 I believe. Love the gas ram. Think I’ll get one of these 77’s next. Even though the gas ram is soooo smooth. I don’t know if I’ll be able to change without feeling like downgrading. Just getting into these higher end air guns. My .02

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Because the weihrauch are built so well different rifle models just adds a different dimension to airguns. hw 97 K what a beauty Hw 95 etc. after a while the addiction to have them all kicks in and you just get into what ever gun your working with rite down to a hw 30 LOL

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

That is nice one , I don’t like the laminate one , thanks Mike ! 😎👍🏻

[@MrSteppingstone888]

the laminates are nice feeling but they weigh more

[@AlbertoJorgeSoares]

Gorgeous carbine.

Hi Yes the weihrauch are very nice /

[@marcegrecco53]

I went from springer to pcp and I now got into big bore pcp. So many guns, so little time.

[@MrSteppingstone888]

I know with only weekends off man its hard to do what you want

[@bernardvanderveen7656]

Hi Mike as always I like youre videos. Now im also like low budget springers. Now i found on the web a Artemis / spa gr1600w .22 looks like nice springer. I like to see a revieuw on this

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Hi Bernard. never heard of that rifle it must be non u.s. its big and powerful the forend of the stock looks a little like the walther parrus and the hand grip reminds me of the cometa rifles. in the video it sounds solid

[@stephengray3841]

Cool! yea my ex would let me do what I want,but would not shovel.Love the cat. And (good point)so my Titan GP has not been attended too for some time and it`s barrel catch (on the barrel) has seized up.Very hard to push it in.I must smack it hard to break it. So I put some oil down it and ,still it`s alittle tough but works -but it keeps doing this.Any ideas?

[@MrSteppingstone888]

If your talking about the barrel locking Jam with the small spring behind it that catches the barrel when shut , You can push the jam down on a block of wood then tap the pin out so you can remove the spring & jam to look it over & clean the hole out the spring sits into, crosman should have parts for the gun and there in exspensive

[@stephengray3841]

Holy shit! I done got some learn`in to do ( Krale a HW 97 in 25 for $430) shit I payed $600 to Pyramd for 22 ,think I`ll ask you next time.

[@MrSteppingstone888]

airguns of arizona has the hw 97K lowered now days for 500.00/ krales shipping cost for the 97K will be at or little more than 56.00

[@thomaspauld]

Mike ''vorsicht nicht werfen'' written on the box actually means "do not throw caution" I wonder If you keep a log of all the different Airguns you have own?

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Me and my wife were laughing because later I said it probably means the same thing that's written in english below it lol no log I forgot I had the walther LGU as a underlever when mentioning the ones I have. Have a bunch in the bedroom leaning against each other and the wife wants me to get them out of our room and a bunch in my music room. I know what I have in weihrauchs give or take a hw 30 not sure if I do or not have one the rest is vague , english patriot, and a kodiak patriot rws a bsa gamos bunch of hatsan etc on and on . a wood stock CZ634 new old stock not working when I retire I'Il have a the end of my life to work on them & shoot them

[@codaalive5076]

Thumbs up for your wife! As you say, not many have this "privilege".

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Oh you know it. Ive known guys who's wife gave them notice or else over the airguns & projects guys got into I have just spent three days & late nights in a row working thru issues with projects on air guns, and she has barely seen me, she will just say how's it going getting there yet

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Thats cool John, we love are cat and are so close to him it's amazing. yes the stock is a nice one great that you have a good wife too. my ruger air hawk stock is still hanging un completed since I started the refinish I'll get to it one day lol

[@stephengray3841]

You like Paul Revere?-Any way Mike,please give me your opinion-I would like to repair my discovery(over filled bad twice)...do you have someone you know that is the go to guy?And it is clear you are not fond of Hatsan barrels ( I like my 135) I hit anything but I`m a natural artillary holder) so I `m thinking another 97 in 25 over the 155(this is clearly the way to go) is the 155 that bad?

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Hi Stephen good friend of mine give him a email Rich Shar [e-mail] If you buy a hatsan it is 50 /50 weather you will get a good barrel or bad barrel or ho hum barrel its a roll of the dice. If you buy one , clean the bore good, and then do the pellet to bore test & "slowly " push the pellet down thru the barrel while feeling weather its to tight then loose or has free fall or choppy, or a horrible choke or no choke etc if you get a bad barrel you can return it to try another. make sure your push rod is skinny so it won't flare the pellet skirt on the way thru the bore giving you a false reading

[@stephengray3841]

Thanks,won`t get to discovery till next month.

[@carsmax]

Hi . I order sometimes stuff from Krale too. It´s a fantastic company ! How much custom tax U pay`d ?? great gun , same as my .177 and 17 fpe with 8.6 gr H&N. Love it!

[@Blaserprozg]

Hey mate beautiful airgun i wanna get exactly the same u bought and from krale , can u please check how many lands/groves the barrel have please , i had problem with weihrauch before with hw100 it hade worst barrel ever , then i managed to find hw100 fsb and it had lw barrel , i am just curius does it have 12 lands/groves or 6 thank u in advance

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Hi Antonio I'll look at it after work today, not sure where its is but I'll find it, they get lost in the different bundles of airguns and pouches

[@MrSteppingstone888]

with flashlight & magnifier on one side I counted six so it would be 12 lands

[@Blaserprozg]

Ok thank u mate , easiest way is to fire pellet in to some old towel and count them on pellet , or with a borescope i hope my will have 12 , just getting ready to order my from krale , one more thing are lands sharp on edges

[@MrSteppingstone888]

LOL Iam 61 I can barely see the lands let alone the edges of them unless its a weihrauch german made made rite . I did not want to load and shoot it it was in my bundle collection in my room, my shops all apart under construction

[@Blaserprozg]

Ok thank u , main thing is it have 12 lands/grooves , weihrauch does not make 80% of barrels in their guns , i am just wondering if its lothar walther barrel , thank u again , cant wait for mine .
