I have two crowns. The first one which I use for field target has about 15,000 pellets through it and has never been apart. Probably shouldn’t have said that! The second one was bought used and I had to rebuild the regulator, luckily I did not have any problems getting the o-rings back in. I...

A question for you HW 97 owners, is the mainspring the same between .177, .20, and .22 calibers? I would like to get a spare spring to have just in case.

Thank you Philip and Bill for the great interview, as a fellow field target competitor, I wish you both good luck in the coming season and look forward to seeing you.

I have an HW100 in .177 cal that I use for Field Target and shots at 55 yards is no problem if I do my part. Also have a BSA R-10 SE in .22 cal that does okay out to 75 yards after I figured out a hammer spring adjustment. This summer I plan to try out to possibly 100 yards with it. Both guns...

Our test gun also had that clank sound which was annoying but never caused any accuracy problems.

I have had very good luck with Sportsmatch adjustable on five of my PCP’s and one set on my spring gun. None of them have moved from my initial setup. Had my doubts on my spring gun but needed a height that I could only get with a set of their adjustable mounts and so far nothing has moved. It’s...

Glad you like it, I have always thought that the Weihrauch PCP’s never got the following they deserved in the USA. Always been impressed that those models could produce enough power to be useful in the states while originally designed for 6 ft/lbs in Germany and 12 ft/lbs in England.

Thanks for the reply, do you find that the aftermarket springs are better than the original part? I was going to order some spare parts just to have in case something happened to the gun in the future. I plan on shooting more field target matches this season and would like to have parts on hand...

If you don’t mind my asking, what did you change when you tuned an HW 97? I have one that I bought used and to my knowledge it has not been apart. I personally have not taken it apart because to me it shoots better than I do. My first high quality springer so I may not realize if it could be better.

I too, dislike the bonded moderators, they get in the way and make cleaning the barrel more difficult on some guns.

That does look really nice, it appears that the previous owner took good care of it.

Nothing wrong with shooting at paper but I found the most improvement at least for me was shooting at the actual targets. If you are shooting hunter class (16X) then figuring out the exact spot to stop moving your range wheel as the target comes into focus was what helped me the most...

Just bought 30 tins of JSB .20 cal for my HW 97, wanted a long lasting supply of the same lot number for FT matches. (Springers rule)

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking the same thing about stretching the spring. I wanted to wait until I got another spring in case I went too far with the stretching. As far as the positions go, I only found four possible on my trigger, two holes and two notches.

According to my trigger gage, I am at 9 ounces now and trigger feels pretty good to me. Will try it out and then shoot a match with it this weekend. Didn’t realize how handy it is to take the unit off the gun and adjust it. You can look at it and see the movement while holding it in your hand...

I forgot to add that the trigger assembly can be taken off as a unit by removing two screws and operated and adjusted off the gun.

I know about the Rekord spring gun triggers, I have a HW 97 and I made sure not to go too light on that. The pcp gun triggers are different and aren’t as susceptible to premature firing as the Rekords. I don’t want to go that light to be dangerous as it is used for field target matches. I shot a...

Thank you for the reply, I found everything you did except for the spring placement picture which looks like I may be in luck if the writer of the picture was correct about what he thought for the colored lines. My spring is positioned like the picture shows. I was going to try all of the...

Hoping some Ham readers can help me with this, I am trying to lighten the trigger on my HW 100 and I read about other people buying a lighter spring on EBAY but I looked and found nothing.

To get a 100 or better at a Grand Prix field target match, best I have done so far is a 98.
