Im Starting Hft

[webster 90]

decided to start hft im in the process of joining a club local to me and im converting a 1984 hw80 from .22 to .177

i have a couple of questions about the conversion

 

I have never shot a in .177 as my main hunting gun is a .22 .

1] whats the muzzel flip on a .177 like

2] im in the process of buying a 177 barrel but not sure to go for a full length or the carbine barrel ( depends on barrel flip )

3]the gun has the old square stock so its getting some new wood,has anyone got any experience with a cs700 or cs800 with a fitted

4]planning on using mu trusty old bushnell trophy mill dot scope , will this be any good

5] welsh willy or sfs service kit ?

 

 

cheers guys

Hi mate give John (wurz ) a pm he has fitted a 98 barrel all be it in .22 but it is cracking to shoot, the 98 barrel as you may know is shorter but heavier/thicker so could help with muzzle flip

My thoughts exactly, bung a 98 barrel on it and get the tuning bits from Sandwell Webster mate, if you have it running at about 10-101/2 ft:lb it should be pretty shooter friendly. If your scopes a 3-9x whatever you should be fine. Dunno about the stock, I built my mk1 up with car body filler but that works a treat for me as I like a heavy gun (14lbs, I fekkin must!)

The CS700 is more of a sporter stock the CS800 is more for target the grip is straighter and the cheekpeice is higher.

cheers guys , been thinking about modding the stock i like the feel of it but might try and chissel a thumb cleff in . getting a sfs kit ordered tomorrow still thinking a standard length barrel is on the cards as i love the look of the longer barrel the gun is wearing now .
