    Basically - I agree, a quality break barrel has a wear adjustable breech bolt rather than a pin but I have seen at least one HW77 (fixed barrel) with barrel droop. To counteract this Sportsmatch do produce a droop compensating o/p mount.

    Question I.J.

    Sorry to hi jack your thread.....
    Ian/I.J.
    How much could I get a new .177 HW35 for ? Can they be found for less than £200? Is it worth considering one thats been worn in? Is the K model screw cut for a silencer? I am getting tempted to add one to my collection at some time.
    Cheers
    Steph

    Steph,
    I think HW35 are still available new to special order but personally I wouldn't bother with a new one (unless it was a 'special edition') when good quality second hand ones usually go for around the £100 mark, depending on condition, model etc.
    I have only seen one '35 come new with a screw cut thread (the silver/black anniversary model in my collection HERE) and thats a standard length (19" barrel) version.
    I have been known to shout the praises of the classic HW35.

    My advise to you if you are after a springer, The webley xocet is the best choise they offer thourghbred quality at an affordable price, there is also the xocet xs with the fitted silcencer for about 10 quid more.
