  1. Question for HW100 owners

    in Airgunners

    Posted

    Right guys finally got trigger back from our german friends and guess what they fixed it gratis, just shows you what the threat of legal action does.

     

    so guys spread the word 1) It's a common problem / design flaw 2) a potential lethal safety issue 3) if they won't help your a member of Basc and you'll set they're' legal dept lose on them like a pack of Rottweiler's .... should do the trick.

     

    you had any joy Sha?

    I was in a gun shop recently and listened to a similar problem and some one put a spot weld on the seer then reshaped it with file, then reheated the seer and dipped it in cold oil to harden it off.

    I am not proposing its right or wrong,it just done the trick for his needs. or you can just pay the money down for a new unit, at worse right it off, but seers are specially hardened it seem unusual for it to go.

    best of luck

     

    kind regards billde

    I'm going to send it back to them got nothing to lose already resigned myself to having to get a new trigger (worse case) the problem with the sears is that they overlap so only just over 50% of the sears are holding (design flaw?) resulting in increased loading on the sears . If they try and charge me silly money + postage i'll be telling them BASC legal dept will be touch shortly .

    Had a couple of replys back from our German Friends...

     

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    thank you very much for your enquiry. At the moment the number of incoming mails is quite high. Due to this circumstance there may be a delay in corresponding and answering. We hope for your patience and understanding.

    Best regards

     

    that came at 6.10 this morning then...

     

    Dear Mr. Moore,

    we refer to your e-mail of 19.06.2015.

    As you already state the sears are only available preset in the trigger housing. We can offer you to return the trigger mechanism to us for inspection.

    We are looking forward to your comments.

    Best regards

    Hans-H. Weihrauch

     

    looks like my email up wind up them a bit so i'll be sending complete trigger to them at some point , "for inspection" with a bit of luck they'll repair it foc and send it back ... ye right watch this space.

    The unspoken bit is presumably the new set from the OEM has the same wear point.

    It will not be my problem up for sale as soon as it been properly fixed just bought another rapid never be another HW in my house stuff em.

     

    just sent this to weihrauch

     

    Thank you for your email however, I have already contacted Hull CC who have informed me they cannot assist. I am now stuck with one of your guns, an HW100, which is unsafe and un-shootable. My "understanding" is now turning to regret. As a customer of a current model, I politely request you supply me with spare parts I need to make the gun safe to shoot again. Research on the internet has shown this to be a widespread and potentially lethal problem on the hw100 if this was a car it would have to be recalled, your solution to the problem is to not only withdraw the supply of individual parts needed to rectify this potentially lethal problem not only to the general public but also to gunsmiths/shops and to cash in on the problem by only selling the complete trigger unit at 10x times the price of the individual parts required. your excuse for doing this fitting of the sears requires a special tool, it does not . I once again politely request you supply me with spare parts I need to make the gun safe to shoot again.
    yours unhappy HW100 owner & BASC Member Simon.
    see response I get back.

  7. Question for HW100 owners

    Husky if I don't get a positive reply from WR by midweek I'm going to trek around or phone some local engineering companies who do one offs or very small batchest. Don't know what it will cost but think it must be cheaper than a full unit.

     

    One other possibility is a US company called Shapeways, They are not an air gun company but in their list of products is the middle sear we are looking for. Not at all sure about this though as the company are a 3D printing firm, also uncertain about the metals used, stainless steel "infused with zinc" The other thing is they don't appear to have sold any so there are no reviews. Goggle Shapeways then do a search on their web site for HW100 middle sear, and there it is, however it is a digital image and not the actual product.

     

    Goggled 3D printing and looked at some commercial / industrial firms doing this, I was impressed with the technology. Have a look on goggle, see what you think.

     

    I would prefer to have one made from case hardened steel by traditional methods but its down to if someone will do it and what the cost is.

     

    The sear from Shapeways is around £26 delivered from the states = there may be duty and vat once it gets here.

     

    Will report when I have something to report.

     

    Cheers

    Bri

     

    Hi Bri saw the shapeways site a bit dubious about the quality/strength I think the way to go is as you say small engineering companies I'd be more than happy to go half's on costs I need top and middle sears though, if it had to be a small batch I'm sure we could sell the surplus on flea bay I'm pretty sure there's a demand for them could be quids in pal.

    atb Simon...... if this was a car they would have to recall them as it's a obvious design flaw and a potentially lethal one at that.

    Actually, and for the record, I'd try any air rifle. I do like the HW for the very simple reason that kids cannot double load it.

     

    I'd be happy to shoot a daystate.

     

    For my own use I really like my trusty Feinwerkbau. Despite offers, it is not for sale and never will be.

     

    I was playing with an AA S400 last night which was very nice to use and gave very good groupings. ....... Not quite as good as the HW100.

     

    I want an FAC air rifle and will have a slot shortly for one. This is my dilemma.........? I am wondering about the FX range with adjustable power settings but early days yet.

     

    Get a rapid great guns for FAC :good:

    although I think the hw100 is an excellent heavy rifle I have now thought what you could both do,,,,

     

     

    buy a Daystate rifle, at least then IF ( which I doubt ) it did go wrong then being British and with their excellent aftersales you would easily be able to sort it,

     

    malkiserow is someone whom wants to own a daystate because he knows the HW is not a superior rifle but cant bring himself to buy one due to being slated on here for going back on his word,

     

    its no good replying to the germans because they have given you their answer,

     

    if I was either of you I would buy the trigger assembly and just get shut of the rifle, then take a trip down to the DAYSTATE factory and go and handle some properly built rifles ,

     

    hopefully by then you will both realise buying foreign guns is not always a good idea, especially cheap heavy German ones

    Hi Evo the hw100 aint my gun it's my sons I've got 3 Rapids hunter.gif.pagespeed.ce.GRvNRKGFmJ.gif wouldn't have owt else, there bombproof. can strip them in few mins with a few allen keys, like to see you fix a Daystate in the field more anti- tampers than our lasses knickers not right keen on having to fork out 150 notes to get one serviced either ( from Yorkshire were tight like that) every 6 months, my m8 just bought a Wolverine v nice gun, not for me though too over complicated their like new cars owt goes wrong you've got to go back to main dealer, that's i.ve ever heard about Daystates nice guns but when they go wrong get ready to drop your trousers n grab the KY cause it's going to be painful.

    Hi Sha got the exact same problem with sons hw100 don't expect any joy from service dept I emailed them and got the same generic reply word for word, I wonder how many times they have sent that email out. so I'm not a happy camper just thinking how to word my reply email to them ? do like the suggestion above though. pretty much resigned to the fact i'll have to buy the complete trigger so I've done being polite any further suggestions lads?

    Atb Simon.
