Yeah there is such a gun, light weight version of the HW80. Lighter because the cylinder wall is thinner so they used a raised scope rail in the early ones, changed it to cut dovetails later. Nice stock, no cheek peice but nice fore end.

 

Yes I have an old one, with raised scope rail, it was my fathers, saw a lot of use. He choped the barrel down to a foot to fit a silencer, not smart as is a job for a gunsmith but there wasn't the info on air guns in those days. Now it is rusty, stock looks a mess and has no mainspring in it, the spring for the safety has gone too. Could be a really nice rifle if money was spent on it.

I would get a new barrel-£70, get it re-blued-£50, get what new parts it needs- £20, and fit a V-mach kit-70. £210 in total so I can't afford to.

 

Would be happy to sell face to face but I'm in Wigtownshire, Scotland.

Thanks for the reply edgar, but due to it already being a short barrel when manufactured,being the k model and the alteration that has been done again to shorten it ,It would make a great deal of difference to the distance when firingand for my intended project.

thanks again for your offer

No problem. Who knows maybe one day I will be able to afford all the new bits for it. There must be plenty of old HW 80s about only needing a basic tidying. Good luck, post the results.
