Barrel Weights for the Air Rifle
Smallbore Vibration Controller
Henrich
Barrel Weight
For The Air Rifle
Designed
with the assistance of and tested by the elite shooters in the United States.
Introduced
in the 1996 summer games in Atlanta.
Currently
used by top world shooters in competition nationally and internationally.
Shooters
using this unit have taken gold and silver in the Pan Am Games and silver in the
Commonwealth Games, along with winning various competitions at the junior and
collegiate levels.
**Note-
the unit in this picture is polished for photographic quality. All actual
units are gun blued.
No other barrel
weight provides such a wide weight range with a single unit. This new unit
comes complete with a main weight (243 grams), one sleeve (105 grams), and one
offset weight (195 grams), for a total weight range up to 543 grams. The
sleeve and the offset weights are locked onto the main weight with a set
screw. By using different combinations of these weights, you have FOUR
barrel weights in ONE single unit!!! In order to obtain this weight
variation from standard units of other companies, you would have to buy multiple
weights, costing much more than our single unit.|

The Henrich Barrel
Weight is the most easily adjusted unit on the market and it is the only one
that will not mar the barrel with set screws. By simply moving the weight
along the barrel, the precise balance point of the rifle is found. After
removing the front site, the main weight is slid on the barrel and locked in
place by the compression of O-rings. The compression of the weight's
internal O-rings against the barrel prevents metal to barrel contact, thus the
barrel is not marred by set-screws as it is with other weights. No other barrel
weight will absorb recoil and vibration!! The Henrich Barrel Weight is the
only weight on the market with this feature!! The unique combination of
compression and weight results in the absorption of recoil and vibration by the
O-rings.
Shooters
state that with the reduced recoil and vibration, along with being
able to place the weight at a more precise point,
the rifle simply feels better during and after the shot....and feeling better
means shooting better!!The specifications of the
original Henrich Barrel Weight for the Air Rifle are as follows: This unit
is designed for standard 20 mm OD air rifle barrels. The overall length is
4 1/2 inches and it was designed mainly for the single-stroke pneumatic,
although it may be used on any type of air rifle.MODIFICATIONS
HAVE BEEN MADE FOR OTHER TYPES OF AIR RIFLES!!! By popular demand of shooters
changing over to compressed air rifles, a new lighter, shorter version of the
Henrich Barrel Weight has been developed. This unit has the same great
capabilities of the original Henrich Weight, but it is lighter to compensate for
the weight of the air cylinder and shorter to facilitate the removal of the
cylinder. The offset and the sleeve weights of this modified unit are the
same as the original, but the main unit is only 2 1/2 inches long (as compared
to 4 1/2") and weighs only 138 grams (as compared to 243 grams).
Because of the shorter length of the main weight, this version only allows the
use of either the sleeve or the offset weight at one time, and not both.
This modifies the variable weight range to three different possibilities, up to
333 grams. This design is popular with younger shooters and shooters who
desire a lighter barrel weight range, whether it is used with a single-stroke
pneumatic or a compressed air rifle.
Other
modifications can be made at your request, although prices may vary. The
Henrich Barrel Weight is designed for standard 20 mm OD air rifle barrels, but
it can be adapted to air rifles with a different barrel OD from the
standard. Please contact us for pricing.
