What do people think of the hw99s

[slinger69]

I'm at mums next weekend while everyone else is jollying it up in Nuneaton!

Hope you all enjoy your family occasion Nick, Karen, & Co....

Will raise a glass to you in Quigly Hollow... maybe even a bucket if we're on fire.

@MT Withdrawing piston, watch out for its seal against the burrs usually found at the trigger end of the compression tube.

I've just bought one of these(HW99s) in .177 calibre,now that they've sorted the galling problem,and all I've done to it was remove the action from the stock and apply some moly grease to the spring through the cocking slot and a couple of drops of lube to the inside of the cylinder wall and the gun shoots fine,smooth virtually no twang or recoil.So all in all pleased with it.

Steady on the oil, though, Pat.

On my standard .177, all I've done to date was apply some moly paste to the underside of cocking lever and cocking slot. Seems to be bedding in nicely. Will shoot as is for now but will, in time, obtain top hat and tight fitting guide and reduce the spring slightly.

Yep didn't overdo it,also lubed all the pivot points as well.The gun suits me as I have small hands ,might get a Rowan set back trigger later what do you reckon?

Many people recommend the set back trigger by Rowan. I have arms like an ape, so its fine for me as standard

Funny this reach issue from grip to trigger, I read about it and thought it won't affect me as I have hands like shovels! Well I don't know how these Germans are built but it's quite a stretch even for my mitts.

Definitely a plan. For many, with small to average sized hands, making it fit comfortably, and not stretching to the trigger, reducing any potential stress and tension can only aid good shooting.

Got mine out again today to test a few more types of pellets, thought I was losing the plot couldn't get anything to group half respectable, then tried jumbo rs and tight groups came easily! She's a bit fussy this one.
