Break Barrel I TOLD YOU GUYS I WAS GOING TO TO IT!

[Hoppalong Doc]

I thought that I was going to break the bank this coming Spring, but in a conversation with Darin at AoA this afternoon, I found out that there were only 13 blue laminate HW50S left in stock, and he wasn't at all sure when or if any more 75th Anniversary models would be arriving. I had wanted a walnut stock, but he felt that these just wern't happening anytime soon. With all the new Trump Tariffs being threatened, I just bit the bullet now. $669.00 for my HW50s . . . seems incredible, but there it is. I've been wanting to add this rifle to my collection since this rifle was half the price that I paid today, but there ya go. Orv.

Nice! In my mind an heirloom springer is worth the coin 100%. LOVE my TX and my HW50!
Did you go .177 or .22?

.22 cal. Just makes better sense with my 78 yr. old very arthritic hands/fingers.

Pictures, I'm not sure. I've actually never tried to put pictures on the internet. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until April to pick up my new blue laminate HW50S directly from AoA as guns of any kind cannot be shipped to a military base. I've found that having a rifle shipped to a UPS store is a sure recipe for disaster. I guess that I'll just have to pine away until I can get up to Gilbert, AZ. and pick it up myself. I'm hoping that they'll be gracious enough to let me watch as I have them put a Vortek Tune on it as well as
clean out all the factory gunk the factory ships them with. Orv.

Very cool Orv and congrats on your purchase. It will be great to have in your collection!

Congratulations! You're going to love it. I enjoy my .177 so much that I considered getting another in .22

Great choice! As you can read in this story, Weihrauch prices have not increased by much more than the rate of inflation over the years, even though they may seem high. The History Of Weihrauch - Hard Air Magazine

Seems incredible, but there it is.

Well, thanks, man!

For all and any critic of
▪︎ my next shopping spree splurge,
▪︎ my next impulse buy, or
▪︎ my next mindless money misadventure —
I now have a precedent that I can make appeal to in order to defend my actions —
in the domestic courtroom at my home.


This is really perfect timing for this, too — with all the new stuff from SHOT and IWA coming out....!
