Hw97???

[Furrosious ferreter 499]

Ive got a hw97, but cant find many more guns the same on internet.

 

It has the barrel/silencer longer than the underlever. Not level!

Does this just mean its not a carbine rifle its serial number is 1507... making it 2001 so its not 25mm internals.

 

Any info on these please?

i think its the first 97 they made that as the longer top barrel / silencer

[bigmac 97kt 13,806]

HAS THE STOCK GOT THE CHECKERING ON THE FOR STOCK OR JUST ON THE PISTOL GRIP

 

THIS IS THE NEWER ONE

 

THE OLDER ONE HAS NO CHECKERING ON THE FOR STOCK JUST THE PISTOL GRIP AND AS SAY,D IS LONGER THAN THE UNDER LEAVER

Are you sure it hasn't got a extra silencer on

[villaman 9,983]

One of mine is roughly the same age and under leaver and barrel are same

[bigmac 97kt 13,806]

Mind the stocks are interchangeable

 

as in you can fit a new stock onto the old action

 

and some of the older 97,s are better than the new 97,s

 

back then they took care in there quality control

It came with a synthetic stock thumbhole... shite.

 

Ive seen earlier ones that barrel n under lever are the same length.

 

Defo not an extra silencer...

 

Ill try put pic up later. Any tips on doing that?

Best i can do

[Furrosious ferreter 499]

Full rifle in 77 stock

[Rez 4,961]

It that second hand?

 

To me, its either a 77 with a shoddy conversation, or a old, as in Mk1, 97. And there the best

 

Its not a carbine if its an original one.

 

[stealthy1 3,964]

Looks like an old 77 to me too, is that a slide on Mod?

[Furrosious ferreter 499]

Its saying hw97k on the top infront of the loading port.

 

Its in a hw77 stock that i got cheap stripped the finish off and done the stippling myself.

 

Not a slide on, if it is its bloody tight.

 

Whats the serial of the other one in post #10?

What is meant by shoddy conversion?

There are a couple of posts on other Forums about the early Hw97 differences

Guessing as yours had been refurb'ed it won't have the original - gasp - square spring

Sorry, just read your original post again.

I think it is probably a 'bitsa', as in made up from bits of other guns.

Not a bad thing, just depends on your take. And an avenue you have joined with the non-original stock.

 

The odd thing though is your serial number. My Hw35 has it stamped on the barrel and I thought this was the same with Hw97s too.

So why would your early model barrel have a later model serial number?

[Furrosious ferreter 499]

Yes, serial no is stamped on the barrell and is a hull cartridge...

 

 

Before i tuned it, it did have the sqaure spring but i thought this might of been a ox spring?

 

Do you think the silencer end has been swapped for an old mk1 possibly?

The one in the youtube video looks like it says hw97k on top at about 39 seconds in (tell ccos it has 5 letters/numbers)

 

Nothing looks like its been heated or replaced at the barrel to action or at the silencer undrr lever...

 

It does shoot really nicely just a thud and clover leaf at 30 meters i think the only thing to tune it further is to get a paul short job done on the piston/comp tube.
