Bespoke gun's 1 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi all I spent a good few year's back in 1996, seeing what i could do to improve the smoothness consistency and accuracy of my first HW80 carbine i bought new back then. I did various work experimenting with transfer por's lightening piston's and action etc. I sold that air rifle around 15 year's ago and bought two more and also improved them greatlyt oo the first HW was a 22 and the other's were both 177 and i also reworked the stock's and oil finished to my liking. sold these and later managed to purchase another much older HW for £15 it had a bent barrel and was rusty etc. I straightened the barrel and cleaned it all up and reworked the internal's did some lightening work and also reworked the original stock and i will never sell this gun as i love it so much. It's putting out a very consistent 11.5 ft lbs with Bisley long range gold pellet's. Here it is now 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
