Hc Quality Control

[Rez 4,961]

Just picked up me 98 from me old mans and I'm quite surprised at the shocking workmanship on the adjustable cheek piece on these newer models. Everything else is mint like, but I think they've banged these out regarding the wood work. Shocking really. It's like the cut from another rifle. And another thing that's changed is the chrome finish that's in between the adjustable shoulder piece and the stock. It's not there. Shame. I'll be having this apart when I get home... get the 'kit in'

 

At the shooting show so will catch up on all the other shit going on when I get back.

Seems a little bit of a moan really... For a £400+ rifle I suppose. It's just annoyed me.

It would anoy me as well Rez.

 

It's not like it can be sanded to fit either because it'll end up sat low in the stock.

 

I hope the insides are done well and it shoots well

All the pictures i have seen show a silver butt pad with black rubber

I see your point Rez. But...Id like to put money on it having a better trigger than the one I'm swinging on pal.?

If you have made your name by having top quality and high standards in production, then the price of the goods should not be a factor. Someone was sleeping with that one, or is it the shape of things to come?

What does that mean even mean snap? The price of the item is surely the factor if you've made your name by quality of production... whether it be high or low @ codt

Trigger and internals are out as soon I return. Got a rowan match and guard at home. Just bloody annoyed about the sodding cheek piece. Will be fine.

Had to pass three inspection before it was sold, factory, inporter and retailer. It passed all three, how many more passed and is it how things will be from now on. £1000+ or £400+ i would expect the same quality control.

as said not good enough with a top end springer.i bought one about 6-7 years ago and the spring snapped after about 300 shots.

Serious question bud, when you get it apart, lets know if its full of swarf, and the state of the piston seal, I hope its perfect mate, but I just dont have a lot of faith in HW quality control after the last 3 brand new rifles I stripped.

It was seriously shit if Im honest CC. Ive just had it in bits today and in all honesty, its the worst Ive seen in a HW. Ive only done maybe 6-7 in teh past, but it was awful. Almost 'do I take this back?' Thoughts started appearing. It was more on the dry side. Plenty of shit around the trigger unit, bone dry on the spring and guide. Piston seal looked like it had spent time in the MD of HC's poo ring.

 

The one thing that really cheesed me off and I cant explain it, other than the above, but next time its apart, Ill show you a picture. You wont believe it. Dont know how it passed QC. Seriously.
