And the end of the story...

Took about seven weeks to get the gun back but it shoots very nicely now - no cocking problem, I don't have the rear sight wound all the way down and have to hold low as well just to stay on the paper, the non-chronographed velocity seems a bit closer to where it ought to be and the trigger, while n...

Just thought I'd post an update on my travails with my HW-70. First, my gun is old. Like more then thirty years and in the late 80's Weihrauch made a change to the trigger group which couldn't be retrofit to the older model and pretty much stopped supplying parts for the old trigger. There was a jig...

I did some more poking around and, as is usual on Google, it coughed up another name: Airgunwerks - Dave Slade.

They're not local to Detroit area but I couldn't find anyone beefing them and a bunch of folks who think the outfit is pretty good. So, that's probably where I'll send my HW-70.

I've got an IZH-46 if I want to get a bit more serious but the HW70 is a nice, easy-to-shoot gun that I can fire either off-hand or two-handed.

Anyhow, do you know someone kind of local who can work on the gun?

Recreation and a little not-too-serious competition if I can find some in the area. Why?

who to repair my HW70?

Got an HW70 I just started shooting again after a long time and it needs some attention. The trigger is wonky - either dangerously light or a green-stick break at about ten pounds with little adjustment between the two. Also, point of impact is so high that I have the rear sight screwed all the way ...
