Can anyone help me identify this HW&77?

[nelsdad]

Hello Folks, as the title says I'm trying to identify a HW77 that has come into my possesion. It's a .22 and the serial number is 1191744. I think it may be a Mk 3 as it doesn't apear to have a rear sight fixing point, only a scope rail. I'm trying to identify it so I can buy the correct piston seal as part of it's refurb. Any pointers much appreciated.

Contact BAR with that serial number and they will be able to say, and supply, wether its the small or larger piston seal.

I think the cut off point for smaller/ and larger serial numbers was 1446049 they will know for sure.

Thanks Ian, I'll give them a call tomorrow. I had a look at Mr Chambers site but its still down for business.

hw77's don't have rearsight fixing points on the cylinder.
the rearsight is mounted onto an alloy block that uses the scope rails hence no fixing points

Thanks Andy, from what I've found out so far it may be a Mk 1.

nope my 77's serial number(11947xx) is roughly 3000 higher than yours and mines a mk2.

mk1's have smaller loading ports than the mk2's
