Weihrauch HW57 FTS Underlever Spring Air Rifle
25% off Vector Optics Scopes with New Air Rifles
Small in size, big on refinement — the Weihrauch HW57 FTS is a compact sporter built to the maker’s exacting standards. Designed around a smooth under-lever cocking action and a self-opening breech, the HW57 combines the user-friendly ergonomics of an underlever with the consistency of a fixed-barrel design. It’s the “biggest little rifle” you can buy: intuitive to operate, superbly finished, and accurate enough for serious target work.
Weihrauch haven’t cut corners: the HW57 ships with the full-specification two-stage Match Rekord trigger, auto-reset safety, scope grooves, and fully adjustable open sights. For 2025 the front sight has been reworked and now features a fibre-optic glow front for fast, bright acquisition in all light conditions — a small but welcome modern touch on a very traditional platform. The lacquered beechwood sporter stock is ambidextrous and beautifully finished, giving a premium look and feel without fuss.

Hey there, shooter! So, you're eyeing our collection of wooden/ laminate gun stocks, huh? Well, before you lock and load, let's lay down some ground rules.
These gun stocks are crafted from natural materials like various wood species and laminate wood. Each piece is a unique creation, like a fingerprint. While we try our best to capture their essence in our pictures, there's a chance the real deal might differ slightly in colour, style, or design. Nature's quirky like that.
Now, if you're the kind who prefers their ducks in a row, synthetic stocks might be more your speed. But if you're ready to embrace the unpredictable beauty of Mother Nature, then welcome aboard!
If you receive your gun stock and it's not quite what you had in mind, you can send it back. But here's the kicker: you'll foot the bill for the return shipping, and we'll only refund you for the product itself. Sorry, but paid shipping costs are like stubborn knots – they ain't budgin'!
And hey, while we're on the topic, if your stock has been damaged or altered (we'll know, trust us), you won't be getting a full refund. We're all about fair play here.
So, before you pull the trigger on your purchase, remember: each stock is a one-of-a-kind creation, a testament to nature's artistry. We're just here to provide the canvas for your shooting masterpiece! Happy shooting!

- Functional Moderators (Silencers/Suppressors): Moderators that reduce the sound of discharge are also classified as restricted items.
Definition and Registration:
- Component Parts: While the VCRA does not explicitly define "component parts," the Home Office interprets this to include pressure-bearing parts such as barrels, cylinders, reservoirs, and pistons.
- Accessories: Only moderators (silencers) require registration by dealers.
Legal Requirements for Transfer:
- In-Person Transfer: It is an offence under the VCRA to transfer these restricted items through standard postal systems or to the end customer directly without the presence of both the buyer and either the seller or a representative of the seller.
