Wildling 520 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Love seeing rifles that someones restored properly, you can really see the time and effort thats gone in to them and a well done pice of woodwork makes the thing damm well stand out from the crowd too. Keep us up to date and informed on any additional restoration projects, they make great reading. Quote Link to post

XBow 2 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Hi 223 How cheap was it ? I have seen a hw 97 k in the same condition as yours before you waved you magic wand. This one is £130. Is it worth it? Edited February 19, 2014 by XBow Quote Link to post
TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Yes I would go for it.it only cost me for a spring and seals I made my spring guide and top hat. All in all About £40 in total to refurb it.did most of it at work so got paid for the privilege lol i paid £115 for the gun originally so now its back to factory except for my stock colour for £155, Atb Quote Link to post
