Malt 379 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Lost my dad on Tuesday. When I first joined this forum 10+ years ago, this was the only section I really used to frequent. I was brought up around air guns as well as ferrets, shot guns and gun dogs. My old man still had his guns, an s410, a falcon pcp of some description, some other pcp I'm not sure of, but his pride and joy was always his HW35. I learned to shoot with that gun, and its in a sorry state now, so I feel its only right I restore it to something approaching it's former glory. Don't know when I'm going to start it but I'll be using this section for help and advice and giving updates on its progress. All the best, and here's to the blokes who gave so many of us a start in a pursuit and an interest in air guns when we were kids, both those still with us and departed! Quote Link to post
