Have I accidently bought an early Venom Arms HW80 today?

[Geezer]

Nice find.

Venom parted company with Trapshot of Lye in 1982.

Thanks for the replies chaps.

I will try to post some pictures I took tonight of the stock and piston and spring guide. Can't remember which picture hosting site I used ages ago and even if I could I definitely can't remember the password

Too pooped to set up a new one now.

Would anyone be kind enough to host/post up 2 pictures (1 of the stock and one of the piston) if I sent them to you by email?

Many Thanks.

Thanks. Hopefully this is a picture of the stock?



And this is a picture of the piston



The spring that it came with it has 28 coils is 3.83mm/0.15" in gauge and is 26.2cm/10 1/4" long if that is any help. I must see if I can find the spring spec thread!

I have done a bit more digging with the vendor today who couldn't remember if the bent barrel that came with it was the original or if the original was put on another HW80 he has that had the bent barrel (if you follow my meaning)

I have sent both serial numbers to HW in Germany tonight to ask for a date for them. The numbers are pretty close so I am expecting them both to be from the 80s (how appropriate )
