Where's I.J. and hwvixen at ???

[hwvixen]

I'm here...was waiting for I.J.

There were Vixens produced in both the basic & Walnut "E" stocks,both types of barrels were fitted too..19" & 21"..the later (longer) barrel & "E" stock make for the ultimate version I think..there are some beautifull figured stocks on some 35's..

I'm sure I.J. & others will add to these facts.. ATB.

I have seen one for sale and it has no checkering on the stock and a short barrel so i guess it is a standard hw35 vixen ? Apparently it doesn't always cock something faulty with safety I have been told, but it seems cheap for a vixen.

i thought the long barreled version had a 22in barrel....sounds like a stanard hw35 to me
