The cross bedding screws at the far end of the fore end are coming a little loose so I think I’ll put a drop of loctite on them.

To remind myself which one to use I consulted google and found...

It's said that if its too light, the spring / piston slams down too fast and things will break.

What is "too light" supposed to be for a 177 or a 22 cal ?

Method
I used a break barrel, spring powered Weihrauch HW95 in 22 cal. Pellets were H&N Field Target Trophy 14.66 gr at MV 680 f/s, giving 16 ft.lb at the muzzle and 14 ft.lb at the test range of...

Has anyone tried using it ?

Hi has anyone used these ?
Looks like a wooden box with clay sort of stuff that catches the pellets.
Out of stock in the USA, presumably due to lockdowns.
Has anyone seen them for sale here ?

:P

Possibly a step too techy for what most use a springer for.

My current plan is to just use the torque wrench to make sure key screws haven't come way loose and about to fall out, without...

Mintie Do you have any thoughts on torque settings for springer air rifles ?

Hi Woody and Forum Members,
Have a look in the Arms Code and the requirements are that you don't "Annoy, Endanger or Frighten" anyone.

First you need a bullet trap (I used sandbags, with solid...

Springer airguns are notorious for crazy recoil that could make stuff come loose.

Breakbarrels also have some extra structural screws that a powder rifle doesn't.

How tight do people do them up...

Hi, you guys all do group work by candle light don't you ?

As you can see from what I wrote the other day, my mind wasn't sufficiently cleared then.
Not sure its much better today but its all...

Weihrauch make quite a range of air rifles but the HW95 is the biggest break barrel springer at present.
At the top end, they have the 85 and 95. 85 have a 500mm barrel vs 410mm for the 95 and the...

The following thread has good information on the merits of: Springer, PCP and low power 22LR. Plus a couple of good links from it .

This one had a 22 cal barrel too but its been misplaced in 40 years of chaos.
May turn up yet I guess.

This is for posting reports, thoughts and questions about air rifles.

We’ll see how it goes, putting information and links of interest in one place so that good contributions don’t get lost among...
