philpot 4,998 Posted July 4, 2021 Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 When Jimmy and Jason came yesterday and we all settled on the rifles we were going to have, one query I forgot to raise with Jimmy was the HW35 I had decided to have appeared a little different to the others and when I picked them up, the rfd thought perhaps this one was a HW35 Export but as this was part of a 300 gun collection simply popped into storage until such time that the rfd could go through all the guns to establish what there was. So with some thought that this one could be an Export, can anyone tell me how to tell the difference but here are a couple of things that is different to the other HW35's I brought home. There is no saftey button. As a seperate item, does anyone by any chance have a turret cover for an original Mamba Lite scope please, as you can see I lost one. There is a pronounced cheek piece on the stock. It also has a white insert and plastic grip base plate along with a white insert on the butt cap. The barrel and stock have sling studs which I know could easily have been istalled by it's previous owner but worth pointing out and a 500mm barrel. Well those are the things that show to me and as I am nowhere near clever enough to know where else to look, I put the question to you guys, oh yes and the serial number is 541955 which means absolutely bugger all to me but it might to you. any help or information would be grately received. I had better show you the full gun I guess but whatever it is.........I like it. Phil Quote Link to post

philpot 4,998 Posted July 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2021 I going to look in amongst those 300 guns to see if there is a 127 stashed in the group, what a lovely gun to handle, great balance and accurate....................Jimmy packed it away before I had the chance to hide it away.......................bugger.

philpot 4,998 Posted July 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thanks for the feedback guys, at least I now know what it is. I might have a go at the stock this winter although I doubt for one second it will finish up like the stocks I have seen that Jimmy has done even on my tiny Diana model 16 which looked like pallet wood until Jimmy worked his magic. Hmmm might just leave it alone Quote Link to post
