And what an interesting example - I've never seen an HW 50 that was plated or had the "kangaroo" marking! Danny Garvin may enjoy having pics of it on his "Vintage Airgun Gallery" linked above.Īs noted above, both Air Rifle Headquarters and Vortek offer springs and other parts for the old gun. ![]() The classic HW 50 was Weihrauch's first airgun, entering production in 1951 and being made for about 50 years! It's the smallest HW design to have the threaded rear section and as nice a medium-sized sporter rifle as ever was. Being similar in size and configuration to the original 50, HW saw fit to re-name the 99 for other markets when the old gun ceased production in the early 2000's.causing a lot of confusion. Let me start by saying the original HW 50 like yours is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RIFLE than the current one of that name (which was introduced in 1999 as the "HW 99," and still sold under that name in the UK at least.
