Yeah watched it about a month ago when it came out.
Left a comment it would have been good to see a tuned set up in the stock body of the blackline they were using.
He replied that none if them wanted to lose there poi by transferring their tuned ft guns into the blackline stock.
Fair enough, but it would have been interesting to see just how much difference it made.]]> Wed, 26 Feb 2025 11:00:59 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=982&PID=12108#12108 Weihrauch HW97 Blackline : Hey Kruza, have you watched this... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=982&PID=12106#12106 Author: RangerPete

Hey Kruza, have you watched this video?
Very interesting compairing the accuracy of two tuned HW97's and 2 stock untuned HW97's.
Then it does into a lot of detail about shot cycles and spring movents etc. all very interesting.

I dont have a link, but the videos name is "Is a tuned Weihrauch HW97K more accurate? HTF springer air rifle"
The guys channel is called "ptdunk Vintage Airguns"]]> Wed, 26 Feb 2025 10:12:38 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=982&PID=12106#12106 Weihrauch HW97 Blackline : So after a few months of use here's... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=982&PID=10176#10176 Author: kruzaroad

So after a few months of use here's my view of this gun.
It really is awsome.
Have three issues with it. 1: the bluing on the cocking arm wearing.
2:The weight ( but was aware of that when purchasing)
3: The auto saftey catch. Biggest pain in the arse out of any rifle Ive had. Still forget to push it off.
No complaints about rest and its proving it's hell accurate.
Would recommend it anyone who is looking at this style of springer.
Money well spent. ]]> Sun, 11 Aug 2024 07:11:35 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=982&PID=10176#10176 Weihrauch HW97 Blackline : Yes, it certainly seems to have... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=982&PID=9946#9946 Author: Pauly5

Yes, it certainly seems to have worn prematurely. I know my first one wore in the same place, but it felt like it took longer.

I do like the wear patterns and patina of a well used gun though.

Cheers haven't had any rust issues since took out of foam hard case and put in soft case.
1322 in hard case and has no rust forming but is totally painted in camo.
Its bad blueing, no way it should have come off in amount of shots I've done. Tx never had the issue and had put through way more shots than 97 has.
Almost like it was reblued over old wear. Espially as I'm missing 2 fingers and don't grip the cocking arm as wide as the wear pattern is.
Still it's a working gun. It's going to get scratched and worn, but as long as its accurate and shoots well that's all I'm fussed about.
Still bit disappointing considering the brand and limited amount of shots.

The underlever gets the most hand contact so will be affected quickly - really have to wipe down and oil after each shoot or rust will quickly develop.

You could always get a cocking aid to cover it

You'd think so looking at that.
Seems to be the only place so far.

After a bit of break in period I'm really happy with the gun.
It accurate, comfortable, heavy but a strap delt to that.
Only issue has been with bluing. Cocking leaver. Doesn't worry me enough to want to not have it for as long as will take to get redone.
Enjoying it totally.

So the with 15.90 grain
Cometa/exact jumbo the average fpe came out at 657 fps (only about 3 or 4 shots. Dropped one shot as it was unusually lower than others)
That gives an fpe of 15.24
Didn't really do much shooting with it. Bb was impressed with weight distribution.
Run facts through chair gun at some stage and get a flight curve for it and throw it up here, then do real life testing to verify it. ]]> Sun, 19 May 2024 13:58:15 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=982&PID=9649#9649
