- This is the intro video for the rifle we'll be doing for Steve Barton @ Solid Rock Machine Shop. I've included a picture on the intro but you can also watch the video where he talks about it's history and how it is going to be a gift for his daughter. The link is provided bellow.
There's no work being performed in the video. It's just the intro detailing what I've found and describing what will be coming later. Hope you enjoy! Paul

I restore vintage guitar amps. My bud restores cars. You restore pneumatic weapons. We all have different looking benches within differently equipped shops. For me, there's nothing more enjoyable than being in a shop hanging out with people that love what they do. I"m pretty sure we are all on the autism spectrum somewhere.
If having a hobby means being autistic then I guess I'm autistic too...
Paul. I had two HW 30’s professionally tuned. Best decision I ever made. Much better than I can do with installing a spring kit
Thanks Paul,
I had that gun for over 40 years and it was always my favorite. I am sure that there is well over 5,000 rounds shot by it over the years that I used it as a teenager. Thanks for the video update, looking forward to the other videos.
Steve
I've got more footage and will try and get the rest up in a more timely fashion. Lot of life stuff right now. We had talked briefly about some of it. Thanks again!
Paul, I just found your channel and I really enjoyed the content! Thank you, I’m a new subscriber outside of Asheville, NC.
Welcome aboard!
Great video 😊 thoroughly enjoyed watching it , Good point about the nylatron gs. I had guides and top hat made for a hw35, Not overly tight fitting to allow expansion, excellent material to use , self lubricating and very hard wearing. Im just in the process of buying a new hw30s/r7 and will have new guides made for it too
Glad you enjoyed it and got something out of it.
When people like Paul tune or rebuild an air rifle, it isn't because they're trying to make a quick buck. There are much easier ways to make a few extra dollars than getting one of these machines to the highest level of functionality and mechanical accuracy. JM did me more than one favor over the years. One of them was to talk to Paul to tune an HW98 JM chose for me. If you saw that rifle today you'd think I just beat on the thing. It's because of wear not misuse. So yeah, the stippling isn't all black anymore and it's worn down where my hand rests, but it's easy to find that placement now too. (and that safety button thing he did. Who thinks of that kind of thing??)
I know this video is old but so are good books and they're still worth reading.

Thanks
Just saw this. Liked and subscribed. 👍🇺🇸
Awesome thank you!
Hello Mr. Paul Watts, I already missed watching a video of you, hw30 is one of the weapons I like the most, great work, Mr. Steve Barton's daughter will surely like it, cheers, my friend.
I know it's been too long since my last video. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong in the last four weeks. Glad you got something from it. I think it will be a good series. I'll try and break it up into three parts so they will not be too long. Again, many thanks for watching!!
I wouldnt worry about neggitive comments , those of us who know better know your making it better , ya some guns shoot good out of the box but what you do makes them better , if i could do what you do to my beeman im sure it would change the feel 100% . Im sure most of us that watch your videos know enough to see all the pluses your work does , and one last point , if you're ripping people off why do so many people come to you , hmmmmm because as soon as someone shoots a gun tuned by you they know there shooting a tuned gun
Thanks! I'm trying to pass on as much as I can. Doing videos is a easier way of doing it than writing. Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed the video. I have a neighbor that just gave me an old R7. It’s an older model , but still looks very nice.. this model does not have a safety.
I'm a fan of Weihrauch spring rifles and love my HW30S, newer model. One thing I would change is the auto safety, I would prefer if it wasn't there.
appreciate your insights! my hw30 started dragging after a few hunded shots. These def need tunes! I ended up later breaking my spring at one end so I ground it of clean at minus one curl. shoots 7.9 at 525 fps and its VERY accurate!! I have a small yard so its no big deal to loose a few fps
Thanks for all those precius info Paul
Thanks for watching! I've had some more footage shot but haven't done the editing yet. Will try this weekend.
I can't wait to see all of them i consider you one of the best master in this businnes your work is outstanding !!!
Tks for sharing PW
Good info, thanks for sharing it Paul.
No problem. When you get a chance give me a call ;-)
For a basement airgun tinkerer like me, you share a lot of great info! I'm really looking forward to the tube straightening video- I've only straightened the barrel on springers.
Glad you're finding the videos useful. I've been holed up by myself here for so long I don't know what will be useful to folks. I'm trying to put up content that hasn't been done before or at least something with a different twist than the general consensus. I used to be on all the forums in years past and had a better "feel" of what people did and didn't know.
@@PaulWattsSpringGunning The only forum I find useful these days is the british airgunbbs. A lot of experienced and knowledgeable folks over there, willing to discuss springer mechanics a bit deeper that the average "brake cylinder hone and grease tune". BTW, your video on spring setting and guide fit is a good start for people who want to get into this hobby.
I think I have a membership on the aigunbbs. Just haven't been on forums in a while. I'll read every now and then on some of them but feel that for the most part my input wouldn't be welcomed. I still have one guy at gun shows that always comments on me posting a picture of a custom rifle in the same thread he put a picture up in. It evidently got under his skin and felt I was trying to insult him. As far as tuning info goes, there is now way to show how something should be done without it looking like you are calling out someone who's doing it different. For now this seams to be the best way to put info up without it looking like I'm trying to insult anyone. Glad some of the info is useful. I still plan to do a couple more spring info videos. I had originally planned on it being a three part series. There are even several comments in this video that I feel are lost in translation due to the fact I never finished the series. Thanks For Watching!
Great review. Just wondering if you are still in business?
Hello Mr. Paul,my friend i want to wish you a merry christmas and happy new year, cheers.
Thank you so very much! Sorry the videos are slow coming out. I'm healing up from a back injury. Doing much better now than I was a couple of weeks back. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you too!
@@PaulWattsSpringGunning thanks, I wish you a speedy recovery and all the best for you and your family, cheers.
Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge,
I have an Hw 50 lovely rifle which I've had tuned and also the spring reduced a little just to reduce the recoil a bit however it has developed a slight rattle on the cocking arm and just wondered if that could be corrected by taking the pins out and shimming?.
I have an old izh-22 from the 60s or 70s
The fit and finish was originally lovely (better than my old hw35 from about the same decade)
I would love to make it a smooth fun shooter.
However I couldn't see in the pictures that it was bent the way it was.
My question to you (or anyone reading this) is.
The barrel is a bit bent, not too worrying, the forks I suppose also are bent.
But what worries and displeases me the most is that the tube itself is bent too.
There's a "bulge" just where the breech block closes up and it also ever so slightly pretrudes a couple thousands over the breech block now instead of being flush.
Is there a way to bend/flatten that out again? (without removing a bunch of metal, i don't wanna compromise the structure)
Like could you roll it flat and straight again if someone has like these steel tube rollers/press things.
(I don't know what it's called in English)
Anyone any idea?
Looks like the Roanoke show in that pic at the end. I think that’s me in the pic! Would love to have you tune a couple R7’s for me in .22 and.177....
I believe it is you ;-) I just found a CD with a bunch of pictures from 2009 tonight. I'll include some of them in the next video. Thanks!
Sir, I have a RWS 34 classic I’d love to send into you. How can I get in touch?
Sorry, I'm no longer taking anything in.
Do you know we're I can get new seals for daisy gamo 120 break barrel rifles and gamo survival gun or cadet I need new seals for them all I think 25 mm chamber and seal
Are you still offering turning services and stock refinishing?
Thanks
Jim
No, sorry. I'm no longer taking anything in.
@@PaulWattsSpringGunning just wanted to say thank you for all your videos
As soon as I'm doing better I hope to do some more. Thanks for the encouragement!@@redauwg911
Hi Paul- any chance you can point me to the article that you referenced in this video. I am new to the air rifle world and just purchased my HW30 last month and would love to know more about how it works on the inside and the things we can do to improve it. thank you sir.
I took that article down. I'll be covering the same info in this video series though.
Hi Paul,
Brand new R9 ... barrel angles down .... scope won't adjust that far vertically. Seller says buy a droop kit, easy answer. Worried about the seal holding for very long. I have not taken it apart...is there an easy way to bring the barrel up? Not afraid of maching it if necessary.
Thanks, Ralph
I'm not Paul but I wanted to suggest getting a Sports Match fully adjustable one piece scope mount to correct for barrel droop, common with break barrels. I just bought a new HW90 and my elevation turret was maxing out, trying to zero it in at 30 yards on standard mounts. Changed out the mount with what I suggested and was able to zero the scope while remaining optically zeroed with the elevation turret. Final adjustments were just a few clicks away. Did the same with windage as well. So far the mount is holding true. It's important to ensure that all the mounting screws are evenly and properly torqued down. Good luck.
If you're not afraid to machine anything just make a fixture to mount the lower half of the rings on a dovetail and machine the proper amount of "droop" into the rings you're using to match the angle of the barrel. I used to use a one inch ball mill and machine the ears to match. Be sure to space the rings that same for both the fixture and how they are mounted on the rifle. You can machine on the base of the barrel where it comes to rest on the receiver lug but you best not take too much off or you'll be buying another barrel.
Id like to send one to you and see what you can do with it. Seems underpowered.
I've had to quit taking in work for awhile. I hope to be caught up in a few months but I've been saying that for years :-( Steve's rifle was the last I took in.
Them b7 and b9 are just weihrauch rifles really
