  • Tragriemen frage

    Danke, Daron - ich haette gar kein idee. Solche Luftgewehren sind hier wirklich selten. Ich wohne in Daisy/Crossman/Benjamin/Sheridan land. BSA , Diana, oder RWS sind bekannt, aber selten...aber dieser Durchladern sind fast ganz unbekannt.

  • Tragriemen frage

    Hallo zusammen,

    Ich habe dieser alte Tragriemen gefunden. Sicher, aus DDR NVA bestandigung. Mit Lieferer nummer und Jahr, 1963, gestempelt. Braunes leder, und wirklich schmall - passt prima an meiner Haenel 49.
    Gab es einmal ein lederes Tragriemen fur den Haenel? Wenn nicht - was fuer ein tragriemen habe ich? Ich kenne kein andere klein-kaliber ubungsgewehr von dieser Zeit.
    MfG.

    Dave

  • Alte Haenel, neuer Schaft

    Das ist alles....ich hoffe auch, das jemand koennte sich freuen, uber meine schlechte Grammatik. Manchmal habe ich schwerigkeit, mit mein eigenes sprache.
    Also an dieser alter grosser Haenel - ich bin fast sicher, dass der Abzugbugel kein Blechteil war - sonst aus einer stuck Stahl gefrast. Aber die Bruniereung war nicht passend. Das koennte der Arbeit einer Buschenmacher sein. Jemand hat auch der Schaft repariert. Aber das war 8, oder 9 jahren vor. Ich hab viel vergessen. Und nicht nur Deutsch vergessen, hihi...

    Und ein andere stuck Blech fuer das Handschutz. Ich kann es nicht sehr gut auf Deusch erzaehlen - mann muss den Kornschutz entfernen - mann zieht dieser Halter- oben seite unter- es passt wirklich eng zu dem Kornsattel. Dann oben site oben. Ich KANN es fotographieren, wenn man fragt, aber ich bin momentan ganz zu faul, alles zu zerlegen....
    O.k. - ein schlechter bild. Nackt ist es mehr interessiert.

    Beide Ringe sind selbsgemacht. Keiner alter Mauser ringe war passend - lauf war zu schmall. Und ich habe ein Gutes Kopie der hintere Ringe gemacht. Wenn ich wusste, das andere Luftgewehre mit Karabiner aenchichen Schaften existiert, so wurde ich einer gemacht!
    Ich hat es bemerkt, das der vorderer Ringe der alte "Senior" war ein bischen beschaedigt. Heute weiss ich - es fehlt die kleine Hacke. Das fehlt meiner auch.

  • Advice for my Haenel 49a

    More simple tools. Again from drill-rod...well...it makes a really good drill. End is heated and hammered in shape similar to a screwdriver, then filed to the exact size. Then it is hardened and tempered. If you have good measuring equipment it is not too difficult to make. My final one was smaller than the hole by less than a hair's thickness. I had to make two, because I couldn't get the bit to stay in from the back, and because I feared it wouldn't work when it got to the slot.
    I made the first bit to slip between rifling grooves. A brass tube protected the rifling at the muzzle. Then I drilled out what was left, with my larger bit, after the main part broke free.

    A few pictures of some crude tools...first, my special Stossrohrchenzieher. It is crudely forged from "drill rod" = thats "silver steel" to those who learned the Queen's english. Its about 10mm thick, and some 40cm long. The other end is bent to allow pulling or hammering. Inserted in the back end of the action, it can be slowly turned till the hook engages in the slot. But it didn't work - hammering on the bar only distorted the stossrohrchen. I also tried twisting - a little- but I was afraid it would break off.

    Well, Neobusy, just replying to my post helps. This decrepit old 49a may just be "arisen from the ashes" very soon. I have learned some good things here I didn't yet know.
    I wish I had taken photos before I started. The bolt handle was gone and the lower part of it was battered and bent widely open so that it was impossible to put a bolt handle pin in. I wasn't sure of the alloy, but it felt like the stuff drills are made from here. I beat the battered bits back in, pushed it back to where both holes lined up. I ended up altering the top to fit a handle from a 310 - this enabled me to file off the chipped parts. I hope there are no unseen cracks And it was easier than altering the bolt handle I already had. Today I made the thing that keeps the handle from folding till it is closed
    Other than making a new leather seal - I was too stupid to order one - I should have it back shooting soon..

  • Advice for my Haenel 49a

    Just an update on my Haenel 49a.

    I did finally get some replacement parts in, so I decided to work on my little rifle again. I had tried heating up the barrel to the point where a lead ball melted on the outside, then tried to hammer the stossrohrchen out. Then I tried heating it up to a blue temper color, and again with the tube, but I was only able to move it about 5mm, and no more.
    Then I made a heavy steel hook to get into the slot at the back of the tube to try to pull it out. No luck there either.

    At this point I gave up and waited for the new parts, I was going to drill it out. After getting the new parts I made myself a long drill bit that could just slide between the rifling grooves. I bored off about 25 mm before I could push the remainder out. Then I made another drill to bore from the back to get the thin part still left inside.

    From the erractic action of the first drill, I suspected there was something hard stuck between the tube and barrel, perhaps a sewing pin or a needle, or a very snall nail. But nails aren't normally so hard. I can see slight damage to the outside of the tube - that I didn't do - as well as a scratch inside.

    Incidently I WAS able to heat the interior to the unsoldering temperature by using two heavy wires heated in the forge...but what I thought was a mashed ball turned out to be part of the firmly wedged remnant of the stossrohrchen. Fortunately my heating the barrel did soften the tube so drilling out was easier, but whatever bit of steel was stuck was HARD, so much so that I broke the first bit I made on it.

    I may post some pictures later.

    I am almost positive that what is stuck in the bore is the end of the manschettenschraube. It fits snugly, is the right length and it has a hole inside for the air to pass through.
    My father has a lathe and milling machine, but I don't think either of us has a drill long enough to reach this tube. (Tho I could forge one...) I already made a bronze drill to get the crud out of the barrel - the rifling looks and feels undamaged so far - but I am sure this tube is going to be fairly hard - it formed the end of my rod enough to where I could measure the intermnal diameter of the pipe. Yes, i turned the end of my rod in my little lathe to fit it.. I hope to extract that part so I don't have to make one.

    Its no problem to heat up something to white heat, as I am a blacksmith by profession. I might be able to get a rod that fits inside the tube hot on one end and pull it through the tube.

    Well, i think I shall stick with what has worked on centuries old frozen screws on old flintlocks - repeated heating and cooling (not over the tempering colors ), penetrating oil, time, and vibration. There is so much oil in there I don't think the acid would have a fair chance. Failing that I'll slowly warm it up to where a DDR air rifle ball melts then I'll give the rod a mighty whack with the hammer. If this doen't work Ill let the acid have a chance - the heat will have burned off most of the oil and the acid will work better.
    Another question - does anyone know of a source for oval headed slotted machine screws? I can only find Phillips head ones here. My rifle is missing all its original screws that go through the stock, I can make screws from scratch, but hate doing it when I could buy one somewhere.

    Thanks again for the advice!
