Had an Edgar bros one with no seriel number. Still got the barrel fitted to what was originaly a .177k version but now fitted with a .22 Venom kit. If yours in a Hull one then you'll find Edgar Bros ones were much earlier.

Nope...no hull cartridge stamp on this one. Regards Mach 1.5
Hull is stamped on the barrel anyway. Mine had Edgar Bros along the scope rails. I'll have a look at mine but being a K model originaly it would be newish anyway.

I have 926011 and that is a 1983 rifle with Edgar Brothers Macclesfield stamped between the scope dovetails.

This one is marked GB but no other marks. So who did import the first HW80's? No agent no stamp me thinks? So a gray import if you want to take notice of Hull Cartridge advertising!!. Mach 1.5
When was the first HW80 made, I know the R1 & HW80 come out around the same time but what year ??

" Ironically, delays in the production of the R1 stock, which required larger stock blanks than the shorter, rather Germanic HW 80 stock design of that time, resulted in the HW 80 being introduced a little before the U.S. debut of the Beeman R1 in late 1981."
