HW30 Custom

[PiterM]

I've always liked HW30 airguns so I've decided couple of months ago to build "The Ultimate HW30". I've chosen not plain HW30 but HW30S as the base for my project, mainly because it's equipped with "Rekord" trigger unit, probably the best trigger for sporting springer ever. Than I've fitted new 0.22 cal barrel (just for .22 fun), which I've shortened to 12", crowned and installed Bisley Neutraliser silencer. Lightweight scope? What about Simmons 1.5-5x20 Pro-Diamond? Cool compact scope with clear picture and mag. just great for 20-30 yards. And of course the stock... I've ordered a DYI stock (model "R7 Mirage") from Jim Maccari. It was more rough than I expected but OK, just more fun for me to finish it. I've fitted it for my grip, polished, sealed & filled the grain, oiled and waxed. I've added also small stripling panels for even better grip. Now I have my perfect HW30S, which is ideal for 20-25 yard sniping in the backyard. If I miss than it's only my own mistake, I can't blame my rifle any more. Hope you'll like it...

Nice job mate!

Thanks! BTW, did I mention internal tuning as well? Of course it's re-lubed, but I'll install also new custom made nylon spring guide and new washer

Should make it smoother to shoot. You cant go wrong with a HW. Will outlast us if they are looked after mate.
I have a HW95K which has had a stage 1 venom tune, the stock stripped, stained and oiled, brass inserts in stock and fitted with a gold plated trigger and safety catch. Also fitted is a webley silencer. I think its a little long to be honest but my son uses it and the longer barrel makes it easier to cock. It is the most accurate springer I have ever owned. Its capable of half inch groups at 45 yards in the right hands (which isn't mine unless I'm on top form)
Oh..its in .177 and running around 11.7 fpe.

Happy shooting...Ian

Hi Ian, I agree with you about the 95! It's really a fine springer. Give a look at mine:

This is my odd ball 95 which is fitted with Venom internals. The stock kinda grows on you.
