Something Small

[logan esq 99]

Hello gents,

 

I'm looking for some advice. I'm on the look out for a small light weight carbine. I've been looking at the hw99s that has been tuned by sfs also known as the "imp"

 

but i will consider all other rifles, but something along those lines. money is tight just now as i've lost my job.

 

If i was to buy a standard hw99 would it be expensive to shorten the barrel and have a mod fitted? I'm fairly confident in polishing up the internals and fitting a new spring and so forth (if nessersery). Ive also got a hw90k could do the same thing to this? (shorten&mod) cos if i can it would save me some money but its a bit on the heavy side. and its in .22 id prefer .177.

 

think i may sell my pro sport to help this but not sure.

 

 

any advice would be appreciated

I think the 95 is the best compromise between weight and accuracy.

The 95k is a pleasure to shoot .and is mint in the field light as a feather

Ahh. I was looking for an imp to see what all the fuss was about but thought the price tag was a bit to high, unless second hand... for what is basically a standard 99 with a large flake. The ones I've shot are nice mind, but nothing special. Like a cute v-mach job done well. You don't see many come up second hand though, which perhaps says something about them.

 

I ended up getting a Fenman instead.

 

95 is a banging choice.

Yeah leaning more towards the 95 as Blackpool airgun centre are doing one with a vmack kit as standard. It's a bit of a hike to get there for me but a road trip there for the day ain't to bad.

 

 

Still unsure thou.

Buy a secondhand 95 and then buy a Vortek kit.

Installation is supposed to be quite easy (unless it was like my 77 and seemingly welded together).

The 95 carbine is a nice short gun!
