No bear trap on these thats the tx .these hold on the sear /safety. Fantastic gun ..i have know people sell their pcps and go back to these . Nice video thank you
Nice vid, got a 41 year old 77k never had a so called "bear trap" in it!( it only stops the trigger operating, anything else failed it would still chop your thumb off!) I personally always hold the underlever whilst loading it, bought reasantly a 97, took the bear trap out instantly, now i can de cock it without having to dry fire it, be safe 👍🏻
Thanks for the info. Yes I am similar to you in that I always hold the clocking leaver when loading as I grew up with air rifles that also never had the bear trap lock on them. I haven't looked into removing it on the 97 that's interesting is it simple to do?
@airpoweredreviews yes, easy enough to do, it'll lift away from the trigger once you've removed the threaded spacer that the biggest bolt on the trigger guard screws into, retain the washer underneath when you screw the spacer back in.
In the early years all we had was the feeble poor guns made by webley and bsa.Then the germans came along with HW airguns.That was when airgunning really took hold.
Your correct there, l started with them at 15 in 1980 as you say BSA Mercury, Airsporter Webley Vulcan, there the one's l had, then l think was in 83 l got the Feinwerkbau sport, then Weihrauch's in fact l px the Sport for the HW77 when they came out and wow what a gun.
Yep, I know. I am aware of the 'rules' around dry firing a spring piston. However I have also never had an issue with it. This is a working rifle and although not recommended none of my rifles have had a problem with it. I very rarely do it as I usually have cleaning pellets to hand which I didn't on this occasion. But thank you.
I own both the HW77 and 97. Superb rifles. 👍
That's awesome. They are really excellent rifles

@@richardwitherstone7396 nice, thanks for the info appreciate it.
underlever
A safety is nice. I remember them being a popular brand in the 60s and 70s.
Yes they are a very old brand going back to the turn of the century I believe although not always making airguns.
Nice rifle!

prefer this stock over the newer models.
Yeah I know what you mean. Some classic metal and wood is sometimes all you need
Aaaaannnd....dry fire! 😂😂😂
