Yes Geoff. I have read on the Weihrauch owners forum over the years about those early 77s being sweet shooters.

I managed to find a early mk1 77 .177 (with the 25mm running gear) new and unfired a couple of years ago.

The original plan was to put the 25mm piston / compression tube in my GinB stocked 97 after shooting Geoff's outfit ... but Im currently running a full V Glide Kit in the 97 so the plan is on hold :)

I sat the 25mm running gear aside for a rainy day and put the original 97's 26mm running gear in the 77, its still nice to shoot but not quite as sweet as it was.

Either way I will charge the batteries for the torches :wink:
Hi Andrew, or anyone else interested for that matter.

Air rifle shoot at Majura Range on 6th and 7th of January.

Sat morning - Metal Silhouette (followed by rimfire and CF)
Sat evening - 10 m and single malt sitdown afterwards
Sun morning - 60 shot FT match.
Sun evening - single malt sitdown

Come for the FT if nothing else Andrew. I'll probably get there Thursday pm to allow me to play on Friday. Desperately need Geoff time. I've been into work/everyday since 22nd because of attempted breakins. PITA.
