HW 35E

[air gun ant 1,666]

Just got a HW 35E from a lad at work, quite a reasonable price I thought, just wondering what you lads thought of them? BLOODY LONG BARREL!! Bought it blind really but getting some good groups at 35yd and in good nick! Anyone what they are worth?

Hi, mate.

 

Sorry, don't know what it's worth but they are a lovely old springer. 21 inch barrel and a walnut stock on the E (export) version.

 

Old school class. Enjoy!!

 

Cheers.

Hi mate, good rifle, the E is the rarer delux version of the 35. Wont do 12 very happily though, a smooth 10.5 is the best you can hope for which is fine for hunting at medium range. Value would depend on condition.

Lovely gun! I think back then they did a standard and a E with a bloody great 21 - 22" barrel.

 

as I remember when they came into this country they was de-tuned to stay within the 12ft/lbs limit with some only managing around 10ft/lbs, all was very tuneable again...

 

meant to say back in the 's a pal had one and stuck a PTFE washer in it from a guy T Robb, plus a bit of porting, it was soon singing out a 12ft/lbs again.

 

the rekord trigger was amazing and was the rifle build quality.
