webster 90 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) i bought a hw77 last night .some of you might have read my other pcp thread well the missis said i should just buy the gun so we went too get it last night , when the guy opened up the gun bag i was disappointed to say the least surface rust on the barrel the cocking arm and the cylinder , but once it was out the bag i realised it was a full length 77 which i was really after so that was a plus point , i took some tools to have a look under the stock once i got it apart it was obvious t hadnt been messed with but it has a broken spring at rear guide , on the phone the seller had said he had bought the gun new 2 years ago well the serial no said its a 1993 gun with the 25mm piston another pluss point im my book , after a bit of haggling which was mostly me taking the piss i got it for £110, here she is after a bloody good clean up as you can see she cleaned up well , another thread i posted up last night was a question about a hw80 v-mach kit fitting into a hw77 , im pleased to say the spring, piston liner and bottom guide fitted strait in with one metal washer in the piston .after a 20 or so pellets threw the barrel she settled down nicely and is putting out 11.8fb , i might remove the washer to drop the power a bit but at 25 yards sitting she did this with 10 pellets heres a string of ten shots over the crono 576.8 578.1 572.8 571.9 578.1 578.1 578.1 579 579 579.9 to put it bluntly im happier than a fat kid with the keys to a cake shop i can believe the consistency or the accuracy . future plans are a set back trigger and mabie a 97kt stock if i find one at the [BANNED TEXT] price . cheers for looking Edited March 25, 2013 by webster Quote Link to post
webster 90 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 the scope pictured on the gun was one of my spares ,the thing ( best way to describe the scope )that was on it was a piece of poop , will be looking to get a nice £100 scope for it when funds allow Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,587 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've always sung this rifle's praises. Now you can see why. You got an absolute bargain here for £110 webster. Enjoy it mate and keep her in fine fettle and you'll be amazed what this rifle can do! Spend decent money for decent glassware and it'll reward you better than you'd expect! Simon Quote Link to post
woodcote1 88 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I had one 2 years ago and it was a cracking gun. It turned out to be an awesome rat slayer despite being a full length underlever. Quote Link to post
