Weihrauch Marks 75th Anniversary with Limited Edition HW50S

Weihrauch has announced a limited edition HW50S air rifle to commemorate the 75th anniversary of its original HW50V model, which first appeared in 1950.

What are the features of the anniversary edition?

Retailing at £450, the jubilee edition is restricted to 1,000 numbered pieces worldwide, 300 of which will come to the UK. It features distinctive blue-grey laminated wood furniture with special chequering patterns that reference the original 1950s design. The pistol grip incorporates laser engraving of the number “75” on its underside, while the rifle carries limited-edition markings.

What are the technical specifications?

Technical specifications remain consistent with the standard HW50S, including a 1,030mm overall length, standard 410mm barrel length and 3.1kg weight. Available in .177 and .22 calibres, the rifle features a spring-piston action, an ambidextrous stock design, and Weihrauch’s two-stage Rekord match trigger system.

Each rifle ships with open sights. Purchasers receive a commemorative package including a reproduction of the original 1950s advertisement, operating instructions, and a Weihrauch merchandise set.

The rifle features distinctive laser engraving and limited-edition markings.

What is the history of the HW50 model?

The HW50V model established Weihrauch’s reputation in the post-war period and became one of the company’s most recognisable designs. This anniversary edition acknowledges that heritage while offering collectors a distinctive variant of the classic spring-powered air rifle.
