I rescued a Weihrauch HW35 from a coalplace. It was in shocking condition - pitted metal, water blackened woodwork but now with its polished action and the traditional, gorgeously scupltured, woman's bust type stock heel it looks superb. Fitted a Delrin kit and a now it is without the characteristic boing noise and has similar accuracy to my Walther LGV Master Pro which also has a barrel-locking feature. Love 'em both 8-) You are doing a good job, ignore the keyboard creeps.

My farther bought me an asi sniper when i was 10 years old, I still have it at 52

Two of my favourite words, "Springer" and "Free".... great find. 😁👍

Vin, please do an episode on tuning this gem.

Brilliant, This should be a serious from found in a skip to tuned and restored 👌

just brilliant. go on tune the bugger

JUST DO IT !!!! thats a good barrel and a consistent lock-up, the rest is easy ... 80`s springer, its worth it. Plenty more years in the Gal yet

👌this brings back memories. As a young teenager my mate had an asi sniper & I had the asi paratrooper. Totally brilliant vid vin 👍👍

Another excellent video do love old springers

Great episode. I have an old Gamo Hunter 440 with the factory trigger. It’s about 20+ years old and somedays it’ll put my HW97 to shame at 25 yards if I do my part. David

I feel a tuning series coming on 👍🏻

We had meteors,but one poor unfortunate had one of these,he was a outcast😂😂

You know you want it Sir, don't you Sir - "Oooooo, Suits You Sir".

My first airrifle was an A.S.I Paratrooper bought from Gunsport in Rotherham in 1987.

Great idea, and an interesting Video in the making. - I restored a 1970 BSA Lightning a few years ago that I was given - Bent barrel, broken stock - obviously shot with the barrel open. I straightened the barrel, replaced the spring with a Titan (suitable sized) made a new spring guide, changed the Piston seal etc and polished all the rough edges and honed the cylinder bore. It shoot incredibly well and with the right pellets groups at 12mm at 30 m all day. I think your ASI is also a suitable candidate. Keep up the great work and keep away from sniffing labs 🤣

Brilliant one man's rubbish and all that ...let the boy have his fun over the holidays now and offer to work on it when he's back at school, we're all interested in what could be done, and he'll have a real treasure

Fun doesn't have to have an expensive price tag, nice one

Hello form America… first of all I want you to know I watch all your videos. I’m a big fan number two amazing rifle amazing. I had one when I was a kid. Love it.❤❤

This gun brought back some wonderful memories…thanks Vin! I bought an ASI Sniper when I was approximately 18. £72 brand new, if I remember correctly! I took it round my mates house to shoot in his garden, which backed on to a Malt house. We’d shoot the odd pigeon off it! My mate’s dad had a few shots of it and obviously enjoyed the shooting experience, as a few days later, he went to the local gun shop and bought TWO HW35’s, for my mate and his brother, PLUS a FEINWERKBAU for himself! These guns were mounted on the wall when not in use and hardly used over the years! I actually have the HW 35’s now! I shall keep a lookout for a Sniper when I go to the National Shooting Show in May!

I used to own an asi space in 93 lovely little gun wish I kept it

Briliant find . Sad to see someone treating it like that . Again kiss don't do stuff like this anymore .rather be on the game consol . They don't know what there missing . We need to show them 😊 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️😁

The is awesome 😂. I would love to see the difference if you tune it up. Great video Vin

I have an hw85 impossible to miss with it i just don't have a reason to buy a pcp . Other than desire .

Nice little rifle Vince👍 I never heard of the ASI brand. Always great to see something new 😁Thanks for showing this little pearl buddy!

That's very similar to an air rifle I bought in the early 80's that was Spanish made and imported by Daisy. Was my first break barrel. Break barrels were hard to find for sale in a local store back then.

Just shows you pal ! Don’t stick a pasty in your pocket 😂

I had the ASI magnum slightly later full 12ft power , great fun but poor finish on the stock

I have seven springers,and one pcp,nuff said😉

Good grouping.go for a tune....

I had one in the 70s and fitted relum tornado concentric springs which gave it a bit more power

It sure earned it's name ,nice video.

Tune it up..plz😂

Looks like a El Gamo Cadet or El Gamo Expo... Looked ASI up and seems like El Gamo was sold under this brand in UK. Did not know that! Good to know cause I have an El Gamo Magnum from 1984...my first airrifle got it on my 15th birthday ...Still have it and it is in excellent condition. So Vin you could say I also own an ASI :-)

Springs don't run out puff😂

Hey Vin, hope you decide to tune that rifle would be interesting to watch.

How long you here for Billy.....Not long Reg only got half a dozen pellets to fire so about 2 hours mate!

Excellent, I personally would just wipe it over with some rust prevention unless it’s mechanically unsound 😊 allow him to experience what we experienced with our first spring rifle, the twang, rawness and connection with something special. It Hooked me and that was 50 years ago 👍😊 😊

Wow what a find, thats crazy putting that in a skip, would love to see you tune it that would make an interesting video. Was i seeing things the other day?. Thought i saw the day/night scope review then it disappeared 🤔.

Maybe offer to buy the Lad a New, cheap, chinese springer, Include that scope & keep the gun to work on for yourself?? 👍👍👍

Just back from a family holiday in north wales. Hade a fantastic time with the wife and kids (teenagers) looking at old air rifle magazines 😂😂😂when times allowed. Reading an article about barrel length and fps. Arrived home today and chopped my HW 80 gown to 250mm. Dressed the barrel, putt back together and I’ll see the results tomorrow after work?

Very good you should give it a revamped

Be nice re-sprung and a TBT or similar kit put in.

Almost feel offended 😂

Nice 😉👍

Leave it alone Enjoy it for what it is Very impressive I don't think they get a good revue normally 👍👍

Little sniper is a real sniper on target impressive small tight group Tuning kit to smooth it out new grease moly, by adding a new spring if it turns out to be to strong , possible accuracy could be lost , new spring with three extre coils long then old one, then if you find , it does not quite work out , you can always loose or collapse the coils , winner winner

so i keep telling the boys down the club velocity does not equal accuracy on a spring gun . 98 shoots at around 10.5 and it’s dead accurate. some of them low powered guns are bob on not so much recoil . mate of mine did a loft clear out and found an old smk stoke was beat up and loads of surface rust . cleaned it up a bit lubed it up and it shot pretty good for a battered old gun you could group with it at 25 yards . cracked me up because it sounded like it was going to fly apart when you pulled the trigger

Why put this in a skip!!?? Glad its been rescued. Will you sort the stock as wall as strip it for inspection?

My 22 has a awful twang to. Would you not worry that any fettling you do might go the other way, also can I ask what you go to pellet for a unknown rifles first try is please
