    I Started when i was 12/13 first year in secondary school back in 1994. Bought a rough old webley Vulcan with the butt snapped of the stock for £2 dinner money, . Anyhow i drilled thru both sections drove a dirty big bolt thru and painted it brown. My mate Beano also had a westlake something or other and beleive it or not i we used to put our dads old leather jackets on and shoot at each other in a dis used cemetary, CRAZY when we think back Young and very Dumb. but we never got hurt and we shot hell of alot. both guns combined must have only been 4 ftlbs, Anyways the years went by discover

    Ye I'll persevere, but a new Permission is very appealling. Think its worse cos i have a new rifle and I'm dying to try it out.

    Hey all Sold my Bsa S10 last month an picked up a new Hw97kt, I havent been out Shooting for roughly 18 mnths due to the birth of my Daughter an work commitments, But have some free time on my hands now after work going slack, Which is why i decided to swap rifles and start shooting again,Back to basics with a Springer. So have been out punching paper with the new rifle for last 3 weeks or so, running it in and getting a feel for it, Went out after an early finish on Monday bout 4 til 6 hoping for some squizzers Did'nt see a thing, Tried again Friday from 2 til 5 not a sausage again,

    Ok took rifle into gunsmiths this morning, The guy took a look and said id done a cracking job on the prep work and said to send away you'd be wasting your money, so he gave me a bottle of gun blue and i had a go, starting new topic with pics on how this went, thanks for all the interest and replies tho lads.

    Nice buy mate i recently picked up a 77 bout same age looked alot worse than yours tho , Currently looking into re blueing mine,
  13. Dai Williams
    Ok i rang my local gunshop yesterday and they said they can send it off for a proper bluing and throw in a service for £120, I think im gonna go for this as i need a service and need to test the power, as it second hand an not sure if the previous owner has tampered with it. Plus it will come back like a brand new rifle and will look nice with its bigger brother my HW97kt in my gun Cabinet im gonna build.

    I'm just gonna come out and say it, Stay away from Westlake & Smk well anything Chinese really

    There are lots to avoid i wont mention them tho , I'd recomend a spring rifle purely on your budget as the pcp's are alot more expensive, Rifles i would recomend are any thing in the Weirauch range between the hw77 and the hw95 Air arms also make good rifle the Tx200 or Prosport, Bsa are also worth a mention i used to own a Bsa Lightening and it was a great little rifle. Hope this helps.

    Have a look in the For sale section on this forum, just trawl thru tho older posts and you can see roughly what you could get for your money, give you a bit of an idea on price range to,

    Hey Matt Thanks for your last post, Cheered me up a bit as i dont want to re spray it. I have a bottle of bisley gun blue here, Its only suitable for scratches tho is there a kit you would recomend
  18. Dai Williams
    Honestly I'm atarting to get cold feet, Worried about dropping a bollock and ruining the rifle, I havent bought a kit yet, and reading thru some old forums i have discovered this could turn into a nightmare

    Well Ive gone nuts, took her out to the garage earlier and stripped the paint metalwork came up a treat, Think i'l degrease and start the blueing tomorrow pics below, http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee21/dai1983/bad%20paint/hw77kblueexp002.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee21/dai1983/bad%20paint/hw77kblueexp005.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee21/dai1983/bad%20paint/hw77kblueexp003.jpg

    Really nice refurb mate, Couple of quick questions tho, do you have to very carefull not to get any excess paint into the chamber and barrel, also how come you went for spraying rather than re blueing?
  21. Dai Williams
    Right here goes this is my hw77 bought recently off a tinternet site, Few pics below to show the paint falling off her, I recently posted a topic about dipping rifles but turned out to be far to expensive, So im thinking of stripping the action to bare metal and re blueing or powder coating, Has anyone on here striped and re blued a rifle, what was the end result like and how difficult was it to do? Any advice welcomed. http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee21/dai1983/bad%20paint/hw77kbadpaint006.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee21/dai1983/bad%20paint/hw77kbadpaint005.

    An expensive Mistake
  23. Dai Williams
    The Stock is fine, Well not mint but in good nick, £300 is very pricey and im along way from Manchester So best think of something else,

    Hey all recently picked up a Hw77 thats in need of tlc, Tha action has been sprayed black and the paint has chipped, looked terible so i touched it up, However i want to sort it, i dont have the patiance or time to strip and re blue it, Have seen rifles covered in real tree camo (dipped) Can anyone recomend a company/person who does this. Rough price would be nice to, Alternatively if someone knows someone who will strip and reblue a rifle for payment for a fair price that would be great to,
